Package: uml-utilities
Version: 20070815-1.1
Severity: normal
File: /etc/init.d/uml-utilities

Hi,

the uml-utilities init script calls lsb_release -is, yet the DISTRO
variable seems to be used nowhere.

The lsb_release call is rather costly, according to bootchart, it takes
up to 1,5 secs on my laptop (as it queries the apt db and does all sorts
of weird stuff).

So best remove line 16 of the init script altogether.

Cheers,
Michael
