... does not work on older systems which don't have lsb_release, though.
Is lsb_release mandatory? I'm using latest testing and I don't have it.
So if your script depends on lsb_release, then it is specific to your
setting.

I just checked, it comes from the lsb-release package, the priority of which is optional.

To Oliver: if you're making a .deb package for your program, you could add lsb-release to its list of dependencies.
