[Dan Bungert]

Public bug reported:

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/1020901:

Package: ubuntu-dev-tools
Version: 0.190
Tags: patch

`backportpackage` currently fails when the `lsb_release` Python module 
is not available, as it is the case since 2022-09-26 in Debian unstable.

The attached patch makes `backportpackage` use the `lsb_release` command 
when the namesake Python module is not available.
