Status in Ubuntu Eee: Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu Eee Series: 8.10: Fix Released

Bug description:
As users test the various Ubuntu-Eee 8.04.1 release candidates, there is no way to determine what version is actually installed.

The correct thing to do is update /etc/lsb-release to something like:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu-Eee
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu-Eee 8.04.1 rc2"
etc
