Title:
  lsb-release in edgy displays "No LSB modules are available."

Status in “lsb” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  'lsb_release' is in theory the future of telling what OS you're
  running.  In Dapper, this displays:

    Distributor ID: Ubuntu
    Description:    Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
    Release:        6.06
    Codename:       dapper

  On edgy, we now get:

    $ lsb_release 
    No LSB modules are available.

  '/etc/debian_version' contains:

    testing/unstable

  'lsb_release' is doing a 'dpkg-query' is actually what's failing, I
  guess it's looking for the LSB modules.  Doing 'apt-get install lsb'
  suggests:

    The following NEW packages will be installed
    alien lsb lsb-core lsb-cxx lsb-desktop lsb-graphics mailx ncurses-term pax postfix
