Bindep now depends on the distro python library to determine details
about the current platform. This library looks at both /etc/os-release
and lsb_release to find platform info. The os-release file data is
preferred and at times has slightly different data than lsb_release.
Every effort has been made to make this transition backward compatible
but some things may have been missed.
The motivation for this change is that not all distros have lsb_release
available and we can let the distro library sort that out for us.
