remove requirement on lsb package for sources.list file
Managing requirements for installing the lsb package has proven over time to make no sense. The best approach to this is to require lsb-release to be installed alongside puppet, since otherwise there are so much facts that get no value during the run and you end up needing to run puppet twice to get the real end result. Also, since we're not including a class that is actually installing the 'lsb' package, that require line makes it so that including the apt module doesn't work, and there's no documentation in the README about needing to provide a package{'lsb':} resource with the apt class. Because of all that, it makes more sense to just get rid of that require line and mark lsb as a pre-requirement in the README file.
