Title:
  lsb_release should show history of release upgrades

Status in lsb package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lsb

  Currently (Lucid), lsb_release only shows information about current
  system status.  It would be nice (wishlist) if we could keep track of
  the last fresh install and all intervening release upgrades.

  Current output to lsb_release -a (omitting ugly LSB Version output):

  ---------------------------------------------------
  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Description:    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:        10.04
  Codename:       lucid
  ---------------------------------------------------

  Suggested output:

  ---------------------------------------------------
  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Release history: jaunty, karmic-dev, karmic, lucid-dev, lucid
  Description:    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:        10.04
  Codename:       lucid
  ---------------------------------------------------

  Not sure if we can break 'release-dev' into parts:

  release-alpha1
  release-beta

  and so on.

  Also not sure if this can create confusion if users upgrade manually
  (editing sources.list and then 'apt-get dist-upgrade').
