Since I've renamed the file in the master branch, here is more appropriate reference:
https://github.com/dell/dkms/blob/v2.8.6/dkms#L428

Note that there is an PR open [1] to make use of `/etc/os-release`, which means we might not need `lsb-release` in a future `dkms` release

Your work has been merged in upstream tree (f0b11ce0700578fe82657fa3647f6e1920b15590) and will be landed in 3.0 so we can now rely on os-release file.
Thanks a lot!
