It is not supposed to have it.  That file is only for the overrided
values, while the defaults should be left untouched.  Use 'lsb_release
-a' to get the other values.  This is the output on Debian Edu/Jessie:

  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID: Debian
  Description:    DebianEdu/Skolelinux
  Release:        8.3
  Codename:       jessie

This is not needed, nor wanted.
