Package: lsb-release
Version: 3.2-28
Followup-For: Bug #540208
With my apt preferences and negative priorities the lsb_release script
still reports the wrong codename. The attached patch changes the regex
for '(\d+)' to '(-?\d+)' in order to match also negative values.
(below the field 'Description' is optained after applying my patch)

Description: Fix for unsupported negative value in pin priorities

script matches only positive values generating an invalid output for negative
priorities.
