Ugh. This is particularly sucky, and I vote this fact needs to be fixed for
this irrespective of the plugin loading issue.
The problem is:
if Facter.value(:lsbdistid) == "Ubuntu"
"Ubuntu"
elsif FileTest.exists?("/etc/debian_version")
"Debian"
the first invocation doesn't fill lsbdistid, so it falls through to Debian
when /etc/debian_version exists on Ubuntu.
