Best way to run install scripts that depend on lsb_release

For example, the script found at:
https://github.com/nodesource/distribut … structions
Runs lsb_release to find the distribution and install accordingly.

I get:
"Your distribution, identified as "Hydrogen", is not currently supported..."

What I did is change hydrogen to jessie in the lsb-release file and worked fine, but I don't know what would be the correct way.

Should I change it back to hydrogen? What problems could I have if I leave it as jessie?
Is it correct to assume that if the script works for jessie it will work for hydrogen?

Thanks.

i'm pretty sure you can change it to jessie.
i'm almost 100% positive that one of the devs suggested exactly that in a recent thread.

@nobody recommended purging the bunsen-os-release package in this post:
