I think, this identification only important for users development or
distribution company...
The must information add into /etc/lsb-release and I not link others variables
or others archives.. Slackware use only /etc/slackware-version and this only
and simple information important for development or administration... others
information only need capture into /proc or running dmesg... but LSB need 2
archives...(lsb-release and "$distributor ID"-release)

# cat /etc/lsb-release
LSB_VERSION="1.3"
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Slackware 8.1 - June 2002"
