Title:
  python apt reporting Mint as generic distro, not as  Ubuntu type
  distro

Status in python-apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mint Rebecca, reproduce:
  python
  >>import aptsources.distro
  >>distro = aptsources.distro.get_distro()
  >>print distro
  <aptsources.distro.Distribution object at 0x7f4c22051c10>

  vs

  <aptsources.distro.UbuntuDistribution object at 0x7f8fe050ad10>

  on a Trusty.

  This becomes a huge issue when it comes to porting Ansible roles from Ubuntu 
to Mint, since PPAs do not work. Reference:
