This problem appeared in the support page. Second time that lsb_release
gives problem, if not installed or correctly configured. So, it seems
that it is becoming increasingly more important.

I am thinking of changing the page in BLFS to include the configuration
file, duplicating, somehow, what is in LFS.

I will include a test, to see how things are working, then, if not
proper result, use the configure instructions  (reproduced above).

Any objections, here in dev?

I will wait feedback from Christopher.
