Mint Rebecca, reproduce:
python
>>import aptsources.distro
>>distro = aptsources.distro.get_distro()
>>print distro
<aptsources.distro.Distribution object at 0x7f4c22051c10>

vs

<aptsources.distro.UbuntuDistribution object at 0x7f8fe050ad10>

on a Trusty.

This becomes a huge issue when it comes to porting Ansible roles from Ubuntu to Mint, since PPAs do not work. Reference:
