Package: puppet
Version: 2.6.2-4
Severity: normal


Hi,

When using modules with Puppet, they are often done to deal with several
Linux distributions and several Debian releases. This can be used to
deal with different services names (like 'apache' is 'httpd' on
redhat-like) or package names.
For example the 'mailx' package is now named 'bsd-mailx' on squeeze and
later.

The problem is Puppet uses the function lsb_release from the lsb-release
package which is not installed by default on Debian.

Can it be possible to add the 'lsb-release' package to the puppet
dependencies?

Thanks.
