Marking verification-failed, this upload didn't correctly mark /etc/os-
release as a conffile, which will make future upgrades prompt for
conffile updates, unless we do the preinst deletion trick for the
precise version as well.
To avoid the migration magic and hassle, please re-upload with os-

Kindly fix as this helps people like me who continuously switch between
distros and its annonying. I was one of those who was happy with lsb-
release and the /etc/lsb-release already provided by Ubuntu, however,
the reasoning given in this FAQ provides a calm, reasoned explanation

We'll basically get this for free the next time we merge base-files
from Debian.
You will get the file for free but it will still need adjusting to have
Ubuntu specific information.
As a side note, in addition to the distros I listed earlier I noticed that
Gentoo also added this 3 months back:
F.Y.I The file is already present in recent versions of the following
distros: Angstrom, ArchLinux, Debian (sid), Fedora, Frugalware,
OpenSUSE, Fedora, Mageia (and possibly others), so Ubuntu is a little
behind on this one. Will this be fixed in time for Quantal?

Dmitrijs, why are you marking this as Opinion? Please don't mark bugs
invalid without a brief explanation why.
We'll basically get this for free the next time we merge base-files from
Debian. This bug then might not get fixed until 13.04 but it will get
fixed.

No, /etc/lsb_release is indeed not. Only the lsb_release binary is an
LSB standard, but having to call a Python script from other programs
just to get the current release name is _very_ expensive.
