Title:
Software-center causes update-apt-xapian-index to fail on downstream

Bug description:
When software-center is installed on an Ubuntu derivative (in our
case, Nexradix), update-apt-xapian-index fails.
When run, a python error indicating that "no module Nexradix is found"
When I replace lines 112-114 in /usr/share/software-
center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py with:
distro_id = "Ubuntu"
update-apt-xapian-index works without incident.
Based on the prior code, it appears that the current distro name is
being parsed from /etc/lsb-release, and if it doesn't find a matching
distro in the "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro"
directory, it fails.
I assume that adding the distro in question to that directory using
Ubuntu.py as a template would likely solve this, however it remains a
bug: update-apt-xapian-index should not rely on software-center's
distro-specific code, or at the very least, fail more gracefully with
an error message or link to documentation as to what the fix is.
