> The usage reporting plugin currently recognizes Ubuntu linux as debian. This is wrong and should be corrected.
> The reason is the following:
> - the recogintion code checks the presence of certain files:
> /etc/lsb-release for Ubuntu
> and /etc/debian_version for Debian.
> - Debian is checked before Ubuntu, so it finds /etc/debian_version and thinks the Ubuntu distro is a debian distro. 
> - Furthermore this file contains no numerical verison (contains "squeeze/sid") in it, so Ubuntu distros get reported as Debian without version.
