This patch is a fix for Ubuntu 11.04. Ubuntu already patch their python
like this. It is not a python bug. It is the Ubuntu+python combination,
see the above thread for an answer I got from bugs.python.org. It
potentially affects future multiarch Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives. (At
some point python 2.7 series
may be patched upstream though.)

Comment:
New patch attached. lsb_release is a python script trying to import a
system python package called lsb_release. I changed to check /etc/issue
exists, and if so contains Ubuntu 11.04.
I also added an exit if the patch fails to apply, which we forgot to add
before. That will also prevent already patched sources in src/ as the
patch will fail to apply.
