Hi,
Here is a patch that has got some review from "Python3 porting devel" team.
The python2 module is kept back for compatibility (it's just the same
file that is symlinked twice).
The lsb-release package could also provide virtual package
"python-lsb"; and the package that needs explicitely the Python2
module (most use the cli applet) should start to depend on that.
Then "python-lsb" can be later spin off in a separate package with
only the /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lsb_release.py symlink.
The rest is converted to Python3.
