* Provide lsb_release module for Python applications. (Closes: #486262) |

|
51 |
Detection of systems using a mix of packages from various distributions |
|
52 |
or releases is something of a black art; the current heuristic tends |
|
53 |
to assume that the installation is of the earliest distribution which |
|
54 |
is still being used by .B apt but that heuristic is subject to error. |
