Bug Description

Cobbler validates releases of ubuntu when importing ISO's; however this list is hard coded in the codebase so when the next development release opens cobbler can't import ISO's with this --os-version.

This can be worked around by using an existing --os-version (i.e. a released version of ubuntu); however this does not work so well when using cobbler-ubuntu-import (which automatically populates --os-version)

Should automatically be obtained with "ubuntu-distro-info --supported" for Ubuntu releases running cobbler. Additionally, it should also fallback to hardcoded releases.

please use 'ubuntu-distro-info --supported' (or some other flag to ubuntu-distro-info), even for the SRU.
If you just hard code the oneiric SRU, then you'll have to touch it again in 6 months.
