Quite clearly the best format for attachments in the BTS.

That's why I wrote "system configuration confuses lsb_release" -
probably into thinking its an Ubuntu system, when it should detect
Debian. At least from the code in lsb_release I guess it does that.
The lsb-release Maintainers might however actually have more insight
into that and can figure out together with Christian Marillat whats
going wrong.
Wild guesses rgd. the actual traceback:
- either Ubuntu ships "better" distro-info-data?
- its also broken in Ubuntu (doubt it)?
- Ubuntu carries a patch?
However none of that is relevant for finding the root cause...
