I already did this for discover1, but did this in a way to make it use
lsb-base only if it is installed.

I used this code to make lsb-base optional, and used the lsb functions
for output:

  if [ -f /lib/lsb/init-functions ]; then
    . /lib/lsb/init-functions
  else
    log_begin_msg()   { echo "$@"; }
    log_success_msg() { echo "$@"; }
    log_warning_msg() { echo "$@"; }
  fi

Perhaps an idea for you too?
