Comment 8 for bug 321937

Not to be overly repetitive, but this is still an issue 8 years later...

While the solution discussed above (pulling the release name from /etc/lsb-release) would certainly be nice, there's no reason this really needs a fix that complicated. Every instance of the word "Ubuntu" can be avoided by re-wording of a few sentences.

If a patch is needed to get this fixed upstream we'd be more than willing to provide one.
