Title:
  carve out distro information to a separate package

Status in lintian package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in lintian package in Debian:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  the lintian package includes hard-coded information about Ubuntu
  distribution releases in /usr/share/lintian/data/changelog-file
  /ubuntu-dists and possibly other places . This volatile information
  should be carved out to and maintained in the distro-info package
  instead.
