BUG: bloom-release fails to run on humble because of mac_ver

[Ryanf55]

Problem description

bloom-release is unable to run on ubuntu 22.04. I just did an apt update && apt upgrade today.

Demo

Description: Bloom is a release automation tool.
 Bloom provides tools for releasing software on top of a git repository and leverages tools and patterns from git-buildpackage. Additionally, bloom leverages meta and build information from catkin (https://github.com/ros/catkin) to automate release branching and the generation of platform specific source packages, like debian's src-debs.

Confirmed! Master does not have this issue. I'll run with a local version till that makes it into jammy binaries.
