Bug Description

About plug currently hardcodes the website and bug tracker URL. Instead it should read them from an /etc/dpkg/origins/ entry that matches the lsb-release name of the OS.

This is essential for derivativative distros.

Everything no problem, but the "?"-Button == Support-Button leads to the URL "http://elementaryos.org/support", which is not present in any configuration-file i'm aware of.
KIck the "?"-Button or keep the value hard-coded? Or another idea?

Additionally the translate-button needs a source to read it's URL from.
