Fix the Debian packaging script on systems with no codename

marmistrz · Michal Marek · commit 4c586062b275 · 2016-07-26T23:12:08.000+02:00
When calling `make deb-pkg` on a system with no codename (for example
Arch Linux), lsb_release sometimes outputs `n/a` as the codename.

This breaks dpkg-parsechangelog, which can't process the changelog
correctly.
