Subject: [PATCH] python/sepolicy: Use distro module to get os version

Content-type: text/plain

distro module uses /etc/os-release file which contains operating system

identification data, see os-release(5). Given that the mechanism doesn't

use `rpm` it should be possible to generate man pages on other

distributions.
