Subject: [PATCH] Fix the Debian packaging script on systems with no codename
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2016 21:42:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ce356ed3-4bee-6855-6906-a8bee29e7fde@gmail.com> (raw)

When calling `make deb-pkg` on a system with no codename (for example 
Arch Linux), lsb_release sometimes outputs `n/a` as the codename.

This breaks dpkg-parsechangelog, which can't process the changelog 
correctly.
