repack_deb support for Noble #21488

Refer to the crash in the linux-noble-unprovisioned-gcc-cmake-nightly-packaging job.

As of Noble, there is no longer any lsb_release.py module offered for us to import. Instead, we'll either need to open /etc/lsb-release and read out the DISTRIB_CODENAME or subprocess call /usr/bin/lsb_release -cs.

Towards #21335.

FYI, LSB hasn't been updated since 2015 and is effectively deprecated. Ubuntu seems to be holding onto its corpse, but in the longer run, we should consider moving away from lsb_release.
