Alan, the code responsible to identify the distro and version is the
isoinfo.py and we can test your patch using the following command:

$ PYTHONPATH=<path_to_your>/kimchi/src/ python isoinfo.py
${HOME}/Downloads/debian-7.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso
[{'path': '/home/pvital/Downloads/debian-7.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso',
'version': '7.8', 'distro': 'debian'}]
