Debian dropped LSB support in 2015 (see https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot). By default the command lsb_version seems to be still available, but the package lsb-release is not marked as essential, which means by Debian packaging policy it would need to be part of the package dependencies.

Replace it by checking the more modern /etc/os-release file.
