I don't mind what tool does the job. It would simply be very useful to
be able to quickly determine the upgrade history of an installation.

Title:
lsb_release should show history of release upgrades
Status in “lsb” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: lsb
Currently (Lucid), lsb_release only shows information about current
system status. It would be nice (wishlist) if we could keep track of
the last fresh install and all intervening release upgrades.
Current output to lsb_release -a (omitting ugly LSB Version output):
---------------------------------------------------
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
Codename: lucid
---------------------------------------------------
Suggested output:
---------------------------------------------------
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Release history: jaunty, karmic-dev, karmic, lucid-dev, lucid
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
Codename: lucid
---------------------------------------------------
Not sure if we can break 'release-dev' into parts:
release-alpha1
release-beta
and so on.
Also not sure if this can create confusion if users upgrade manually
(editing sources.list and then 'apt-get dist-upgrade').
