The lsb_release value was both used by add-apt-repository from the
software-properties-common package when adding a APT repository and by
the debian/configure script when deciding how to configure the Debian
build system.  The latter used 'lsb_release -s -i' andf 'lsb_release -s
-r'.  The former used to return Debian and the latter returned
'unstable.
