facter <factname> is only able show single facts when the <factname> is stored
in a file called <factname>.rb

The facts lsbrelease, lsbdistid, lsbdistrelease, lsbdistdescription,
lsbdistcodename are generated by /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/facter/lsb.rb, and will
therefore not work that way.

The fact "lsbmajdistrelease" is generated by
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/facter/lsbmajdistrelease.rb, and will therefore work, since
the factname and the filename matches.
