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).
