My mistake, the package wans't broken, it was actually that the binary's itself that don't wan't to call DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Arch Linux" in /etc/lsb-release.
Ncbi-tools just calls the lsb_release tool to get information about the system so I'll have to try another approach.

Also, have you tried patching ncbi-tools to build correctly with the present lsb-release package? Both questions are sincere as I don't have experience with either software.
