[Bug 1665653] Re: lsb_release -d should show a hint if it uses HWE or not

[Brian Murray]

lsb_release parses /etc/lsb-release which is provided by the base-files
package.

** Package changed: lsb (Ubuntu) => base-files (Ubuntu)

Title:
  lsb_release -d should show a hint if it uses HWE or not

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The output of "lsb_release -d" does not show clearly if it really uses
  the HWE.

  Now it's shown 
  -----------------
  Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
  -----------------
  and nobody knows if it uses really the XX.04.2 stack.

  
  I suggest to change the output to something like this:
  -----------------
  Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (HWE)
  -----------------
  Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (GA)
  -----------------

  In the first case the system uses kernel 4.8 and its corrisponding Xserver.
  In the second case the system uses kernel 4.4 and Xserver 1.18.
