+ (description
+ "The distro package provides information about the GNU-Linux distribution
it runs on,
+such as a reliable machine-readable ID, or version information.
+It is a renewed alternative implementation for Python's original
+platform.linux_distribution function, which became necessary because Python 3.5
+deprecated this function, and Python 3.7 is expected to remove it altogether.
+Its predecessor function platform.dist was already deprecated since Python 2.6
and is
+also expected to be removed in Python 3.7. The distro package implements a
robust and
+inclusive way of retrieving the information about a GNU-Linux distribution
based on new
+standards and old methods, namely from these data sources (from high to low
precedence):
+@enumerate
+@item The os-release file /etc/os-release, if present.
+@item The output of the lsb_release command, if available.
+@item The distro release file (/etc/*(-|_)(release|version)), if present.")
