Bug Description

[Impact]
With the new version of distro-info hitting the archives, and it reporting that the LTS is 16.04, MAAS 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 won't be able to commission machines. This is because MAAS depended on distro-info to determine the commissioning release, which at the time is only Trusty.

[Test Case]
1. install maas
2. go to settings page and select commissioning release.
3. with the fix, trusty will be available. Without the fix, no commissioning will be available and machines will fail to commission/enlist.

[Regression Potential]
Minimal.

[Original bug report]
I re-installed my vMAAS setup from scratch today. I imported 14.04 LTS images but that does not allow me to commission anything - the drop-down in the UI says "No usable Release" for commissioning.

The following conversation should sum up the issue:

frobware> in 1.9.1 I have only 14.04 images, but this gives me "No usable Release" for commissioning. Does it have to be 16.04 only?

<roaksoax> frobware: that's not possible :) because you can't commissioning with xenial in 16.04
<roaksoax> frobware: so maybe the image hasn't finish importting ?
<roaksoax> frobware: you'll need 14.04
<roaksoax> frobware: ohhhhh unless.... this may be an issue with python-distroinfo then
<roaksoax> frobware: wat does distro-info --lts show you?

<frobware> roaksoax: aim@maas19:/var/lib/maas/boot-resources$ distro-info --lts
<frobware> xenial

<roaksoax> frobware: that is in trusty ?
<roaksoax> frobware: is your machine trusty ?

<frobware> yes
<frobware> aim@maas19:/var/lib/maas/boot-resources$ lsb_release -cs
<frobware> trusty

<roaksoax> frobware: can you please file a bug...
<roaksoax> frobware: maas uses distro-info to show what release is LTS
<roaksoax> frobware: so since that is now showing xenial
<roaksoax> frobware: it is not allowing trusty

The verification of the Stable Release Update for maas has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

This bug was fixed in the package maas - 1.7.6+bzr3376-0ubuntu3~14.04.1

---------------
maas (1.7.6+bzr3376-0ubuntu3~14.04.1) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/lp1573046.patch: No longer use distro-info --lts to
    detect the commissioning release, as it returns 'xenial' for LTS.
    MAAS 1.7 only supports trusty. (LP: #1573046)

The wily update was not verified in three months, and wily is almost EOL. So I removed the -proposed package.
