Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Package: lsb-release-info Maintainer: Debian Release Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Description: ships release information in /etc/lsb-release This package ships /etc/lsb-release, which contains information about the version of the distribution this package was installed from. See /usr/share/doc/lsb-release-info/README for a description of the format of that file. . Please note that the information contained in this file could be *not* representative of the actual distribution installed in the system, since it may be installed from a newer or older release than the rest of the system, or the system may be a mixture of more than one version of the distribution.
* * * Having this package was first proposed by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña [here][1], and revived by [this recent thread][2]. I will upload a version to unstable with version 99, and later on a version to t-p-u with version 4.0+lenny. Right before the release of lenny we will upload to t-p-u again with the final version number; stable point releases are expected to get an updated version via s-p-u as well.
