Title:
  myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in
  /etc/lsb-release

Status in MyUnity:
  New
Status in Precise Backports:
  Fix Released
Status in myunity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in myunity source package in Precise:
  Won't Fix
Status in myunity source package in Quantal:

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
