that doesn?t scale well for debian derivates that don?t ship
debian_version :) (see ubuntu & co..)

You can?t even use something like "which dpkg" since the tool is
available on rpm based distributions... or viceversa.. there is rpm for
Debian & derivates.

hardcoding all distributions is not optimal either, as they might change
policy by version....
