This behaviour seems correct to me.
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-
generic/lsbrelease.html says "If no options are given, the -v option is
assumed." -v requires the display of LSB modules, which in Debian/Ubuntu
are implemented by the lsb-* metapackages. If you have none of those
installed, then you'll get the output you quote.
However, if you simply say 'lsb_release -a', you'll get the information
you asked for. This is in accordance with the specification for
lsb_release.
Incidentally, I believe that you are mistaken about the behaviour in
dapper:
(dapper)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsb_release
No LSB modules are available.
(dapper)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
