Package: lsb-release
Version: 4.1+devuan2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Every know what are the LSB standar so i'll not explain why this are a
important bug:

   * What led up to the situation?
insert in a script the code $(lsb_release -s -c) and does not work

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
LSB output are incorrect, for Release we have "ascii" and codename we have "n/a"
The corrected output must be "2.1" for Release and "asci" for codename

   * What was the outcome of this action?
again?

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
$(lsb_release -s -c) = asci
$(lsb_release -s -r) = 2.1
