scripts/installer: support LinuxMint Debian.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The primary distribution for LinuxMint is based on Ubuntu,
but there is an alternate Debian-based distribution called
LMDE. Both variations identify themselves as "linuxmint"

We added UBUNTU_VERSION to the Ubuntu handling for linuxmint,
the only distribution so far found to do this. Instead, split
linuxmint out into its own case and use either UBUNTU_VERSION
or DEBIAN_VERSION, whichever is present.

Tested on an LMDE 5 (elsie) VM.

Updates #2915
