Ubuntu doesn't use (and therefore doesn't change) /etc/debian_version, but uses
lsb_release for more accurate information about the running distribution.  Allow
to read /etc/lsb-release (which has a list of key/value pairs before trying to
read /etc/debian_version.

However the file /etc/lsb-release is not standardized, forwarded this to
lsb-discuss at lists.linux-foundation.org.

ok to checkin?
