It's not guaranteed to be shell.  See bug 214861.  I suggest borrowing
the lsb_extract shell function from localechooser instead.

(Sorry for lateness; although it seemed awfully familiar, it took my
associative memory quite a while to dredge this one up.)

Bug description:
  myunity incorrectly parses the lsb-release file in Main.module.  It makes assumptions about the order of lines.  Since lsb-release is a list of shell variables which can be sourced by other programs, perhaps it would be better to use the shell to parse it, rather than just cat it.  Something more like:
  SHELL "source /etc/lsb-release; echo $DISTRIB_RELEASE" to Uversion
