Replace debian_*() parser functions with facts
* Removes dependency on lsb-release and/or Facter >1.7 (values are based on $::lsbdistcodename, when available) * Simplifies maintenance: only lib/facter/util/* require updates as new releases are made Caveats: * apt::codename is removed; to override debian_* facts, set the FACTER_debian_codename environment variable for puppet * If tracking unstable, make sure lsb-release is installed, as other methods can't tell between testing and unstable
