Software often query lsb-release to detect the distro it is running under.
Bedrock Linux has two options in these situations:
Report itself as Bedrock Linux. This would be preferable for things like
screenfetch, the Steam survey, crash reporting tools which phone home the
distro they were running under, etc.
Report itself as the local stratum. This is required for tools like
add-apt-repository (i.e. Ubuntu PPA) to work properly, as they will abort
if they fail to detect a distro they recognize.
Right now, Bedrock Linux does the latter, as having tools like
add-apt-repository "just work" is a high priority. However, instructions
should be available to reconfigure things so that Bedrock Linux reports itself
as Bedrock Linux for users who do not plan to utilize add-apt-repository.
