Debian would need to make the code in question unconditional rather than
using lsb_release. I haven't provided a patch for that but it's trivial;
just remove the if/fi and an indentation level.

If Debian wants to keep the run-time check for whether the system in use
is in fact Debian, then they should use my last-but-one patch (and in
that case Ubuntu might as well do so too). Take your pick.
