[Merge] lp:~elementary-os/ubuntu/utopic/base-files/upstream-release-info into lp:ubuntu/base-files

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff]

Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff has proposed merging lp:~elementary-os/ubuntu/utopic/base-files/upstream-release-info into lp:ubuntu/base-files.

Requested reviews:
  Ubuntu branches (ubuntu-branches)

For more details, see:

Add a folder /etc/upstream-release/ with lsb-release file in it. This allows exposing the Ubuntu information in distributions derived from Ubuntu, and greatly simplifies version and codename handling for third parties targeting Ubuntu and derivatives.

This patch originates from JoliCloud and has been adopted in elementary OS and a development version of Linux Mint. I'm proposing it for merging into the Ubuntu package so that all Ubuntu derivatives could get it automatically, without the need to carry patches by themselves.
