So I've got sl-release fixed, and it will be going out in S.L. 4.1 beta 
that should be out soon.
Looking at redhat-lsb, I see that they don't put anything in 
/etc/lsb-release except the lsb version, so this isn't totally our 
fault. ;)  But while I'm getting my fingers dirty with this ... do you 
have a script or something that generates /etc/lsb-release correctly 
from a correctly formated release file?
