[Bug 1309591] Re: ubuntu-distro-info --devel fails (distro-info data out of date)

[Benjamin Drung]

Would it be a good idea to add a new --latest option that will roughly
be equivilent to "distro-info --devel || distro-info --stable || distro-
info --supported | tail -n 1"? Then the application developers can
decide what they want and use either --latest or --devel.

  Not really distro-info's fault that no one has released the Unseen
  Unicorn just yet, but it seems maybe possible that 'trusty' is a
  better result than failure here.
