lsb-release is quite nice when using facter (usually via Puppet), since it uses lsb-release to fill out information that's handy to use in Puppet rules. Unfortunately, currently lsb-release Recommends: lsb, which then installs the entire world (like apparently large chunks of Qt) if one uses the default behavior of aptitude.
