I think the problem might be that linux_distribution() reads /etc/debian_version first. The contents of the relevant files in /etc look like:

$ cat /etc/debian_version 
squeeze/sid

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS"
