Title: [#2239] Improve Linux detection for LSB distributions.

Problems?
-------------

`/etc/lsb-release` is not a Ubuntu feature.
Equating Gentoo with Ubuntu 12.04 is a hack that depends on Gentoo's version.

Solution?
-----------

Check if `lsb_release -is` is Ubuntu or Gentoo and act accordingly.

Drive-by fix:
* removed Slackware and Debian.

How to check?
------------------

Please review changes.
Please test paver.
