This should no longer be needed in future releases of bzr-builddeb. I
committed a change to use python-distro-info instead of having to
manually fix this every six months. We should really try to use
distro-info where possible. Every release something gets forgotten.
I.e. bzr-builddeb was released in oneiric without knowing about
precise.
