Package: lsb-release
Version: 3.2-20
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
lsb_release currently hard-codes the testing ditribution name.
This patch overrides the hard-coding where the results from /etc/debian-version
appear to contain a valid name. If the results from debian-version contain a
numeric identifier then the number is used, as in current processing. If the
results
are "testing" meaning that debian-version hasn't defined a name I return a
result
of "unknown.new.testing" on the premise that base-files wouldn't set "testing".
Simple enough patch, works with the current (new) base-files. The "global" is
required
otherwise an error is generated when the if fails
