Title:
  usb-creator has hard-coded references to Ubuntu

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in Guadalinex:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  usb-creator mentions "Ubuntu" directly in the interface, as does many
  other apps.  However unlike most other apps that come with Ubuntu, it
  does not display this by using the current distribution listed in the
  /etc/lsb-release file.  As a result, derivative distributions must
  modify the source code in order to change the reference to Ubuntu to
  their distro's name.

  Making the code reference lsb-release instead of a specific value will
  make it portable to other distros without modification.
