Subscribed ubuntu-sru, please test and give feedback

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ This bug makes certian LSB applications unusable.
+ 
+ As Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 will still be around for a while, this bug is
+ worth fixing.
+ 
+ The fixes are in the related branch, the purpose of the fixes are
+ simple, make the affected scripts compatible with Python 3 as they are
+ expected to.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ $ /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd
+ Usage: /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd /etc/init.d/<init-script>
+ 
+ Better to test with actual LSB applications that uses scripts under
+ /usr/lib/lsb/
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Almost zero, as the origin scripts in lsb-core just crashes.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ This problem is mostly due to incompatibilty of Python 2/3 and Ubuntu's clumsy way of port LSB scripts to Python 3 (calling 2to3 in debian/rules)

+ Origin bug report:
