Bug Description

to use os-release instead of lsb_release (which adds a python dependency to the snappy image and is effectively duplication of functionality) /etc/os-release should contain "codename", since the value is needed for various container operations (lxd,docker) to obtain images

  * etc/os-release:
    - add UBUNTU_CODENAME=xenial (LP: #1520154)
      (having distro specific fields is ok according to the spec)

os-release now contains UBUNTU_CODENAME.

ubuntu@localhost:~$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="16.04 (Xenial Xerus)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04"
VERSION_ID="16.04"
HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
UBUNTU_CODENAME=xenial

I'm marking this as fix released. Ogra, will this trigger the removal of lsb_release? Or what else should we do now here?
