You will get the file for free but it will still need adjusting to have

Dmitrijs, why are you marking this as Opinion? Please don't mark bugs
invalid without a brief explanation why.
We'll basically get this for free the next time we merge base-files from
Debian. This bug then might not get fixed until 13.04 but it will get
fixed.

F.Y.I The file is already present in recent versions of the following
distros: Angstrom, ArchLinux, Debian (sid), Fedora, Frugalware,
OpenSUSE, Fedora, Mageia (and possibly others), so Ubuntu is a little
behind on this one. Will this be fixed in time for Quantal?

No, /etc/lsb_release is indeed not. Only the "lsb_release" binary is an
LSB standard, but having to call a Python script from other programs
just to get the current release name is _very_ expensive.
