2535 A string identifying the host distribution.
2536 Strings consist of the host distributor ID
2537 followed by the release, as reported by the
2538 <filename>lsb_release</filename> tool
2539 or as read from <filename>/etc/lsb-release</filename>.
2540 For example, when running a build on Ubuntu 12.10, the value
2541 is "Ubuntu-12.10".
2542 If this information is unable to be determined, the value
2543 resolves to "Unknown".
2544 </para>
2545 <para>
2546 This variable is used by default to isolate native shared
2547 state packages for different distributions (e.g. to avoid
2548 problems with <filename>glibc</filename> version
2549 incompatibilities).
2550 Additionally, the variable is checked against
2551 <link linkend='var-SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS'><filename>SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS</filename></link>
2552 if that variable is set.
