Title:
  can't import lsb_release in python3 anymore

Status in “lsb” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.10 (but grub2 says Debian Wheezy now?)
  Python 3.2.3-6ubuntu3.1

  Python 3.2.3 (default, Oct 19 2012, 19:53:16) 
  [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import lsb_release
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  EOFError: EOF read where not expected
  >>> 

  This is a problem because it causes extlinux to fail. The following
  printed in reply to sudo aptitude full-upgrade:

  The following partially installed packages will be configured:
    extlinux
