Sorry, I filed this in the wrong bin and never ended up seeing it.
Answering to close the loop, the answers just confirm what was
assumed.

/bin/lsb_release doesn't work without /usr, so it's kind of useless to
put it into /bin. If it's required to live in /bin, then it shouldn't
be implemented in python.
As far as I can tell, the LSB doesn't require it to be in /bin,
although it seems to live there traditionally. Barring objections,
I'll move it to /usr/bin.
Correct, it's not required to be in /bin.
question: is the format of /etc/lsb-release part of the lsb?
AFAICT no.
Only the format of data output by lsb_release is specified - this
is the "API" to getting the data. /etc/lsb-release is not even
required to exist, although it happens to exist in the sample implementation
of lsb_release that LSB provides - it's an implementation detail.
