Title:
  Add additional attributes in /etc/os-release

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Please add 'CPE_NAME' and 'BUILD_ID' to /etc/os-release.

  More at http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-
  release.html.

  I'm not sure BUILD_ID should be something like 'vivid' etc, but it
  would be a nice use. Or introduce a new attribute/value pair like

  NICKNAME_ID="vivid"

  No rush. Thanks for adopting this convention so quickly.
