Public bug reported:
ubuntu's python platform module does not support ubuntu, it currently tries to
read /etc/*._release (bit more than that, but doesn't really matter) and finds
debian, and returns debian lenny/sid.
I think some extra heuristics have to be added to the platform module to allow
ubuntu to be detected, perhaps through lsb_release?
alternatively, an ubuntu_release file should be added and that used.
