Another example on openSUSE 12.3:

lsb-release -a

LSB Version: n/a Distributor ID: openSUSE project Description: openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64) Release: 12.3 Codename: Dartmouth

This would result in ('openSUSE project', '11.4', 'x86_64'). I don't think such distribution name changes are useful in practice. The existing linux_distribution() code always returns 'SuSE' for these (and likewise for other distributions).
