Adding to this complexity, I just realized that the Ubuntu code names
are different from the Debian code names, even though Ubuntu is based on
Debian.  Fortunately "lsb_release --short --codename" works on both. 
While most Debian users probably know their code name, I doubt Ubuntu
users do.

Do we actually create different packages for Debian and Ubuntu?
