This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-gnome-default-settings -
16.10.1

---------------
ubuntu-gnome-default-settings (16.10.1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Synchronize plymouth-theme-ubuntu-gnome-text postinst with the postinst
    from plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text to fix erroneous output (LP: #1597466)
  * Append a VERSION string to plymouth-theme-ubuntu-gnome-text's title to
    give the regex something to anchor on and correctly append the version.

Title:
  dpkg giving warning about '/etc/lsb-release' version number not
  starting with a digit when there is no apparent problem in the file

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  Invalid
Status in ubuntu-gnome-default-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-gnome-default-settings source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have recently noticed (though I believe that during the upgrade from Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 to 16.04 I spotted the message when it got to the point of updating the '/etc/lsb-release' file) that sometimes 
  during an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' operation or similar that dpkg outputs this warning:

      dpkg: warning: version '/etc/lsb-release' has bad syntax: version
  number does not start with a digit

  The contents of my 'lsb-release' file is:

      DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
      DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
      DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
      DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04 LTS"

  So I assume that this is a dpkg bug as this was the standard file and
  I don't see any problems in it (I have also compared it to the one on
  14.04 and it is in the same format).
