Greetings, At best you could claim that your package supports a specific version of a specific Linux distribution (with some caveats around Redhat<-->Fedora and Ubuntu<-->Debian equivalences).
Ideally, you'd make a different bundle that was keyed in some way such that a linux user of a non-Ubuntu/Debian/RedHat/Fedora/Gentoo distribution could wire in their own. -- Mark A.
