apt-forktracer uses lsb_release.py or lsb_release command or the
/etc/lsb-release file to get the needed information. There is just a
Recommends on lsb-release package because up until now base-files (which
is essential) used to include /etc/lsb-release, which was sufficient.
Did that change recently? I cannot find any mention of that in wheezy's
lsb-release nor base-files changelogs.
