Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: psi

Psi under Dapper presents a version string of "0.10: Debian GNU/Linux
testing/unstable".  This should probably be something Ubuntu-specific.

Looking at the source, in src/common.cpp Psi determines its OS and
flavour by looking for various pertinent 'version' files on the system,
i.e. /etc/debian_version, /etc/redhat-release and /etc/gentoo-release
and so on.  It finds that /etc/debian_version exists on the system and
assumes it's running on Debian.

To present the correct version string under Ubuntu, I guess it would
need to look at /etc/lsb-release.

I'm unclear whether this is really an Ubuntu bug, or whether it should
be fixed upstream.  I could supply a patch for this if required,
although it really would be extremely trivial.

** Affects: psi (Ubuntu)
