Sarge has four sets of problems with the current LSB:
- The lsb metapackages are suitable for 2.0, not 3.1.
- The new desktop stuff in LSB 3.1 requires a newer version of libxml2
than is in sarge.
- Some of the fixes in glibc 2.3.4 are needed, such as some thread
behavior bugfixes and some symbol fixes.
- A PAM module behaves incorrectly under certain circumstances,
returning success instead of an error for a particular error condition.
All of these issues are fixed in etch as far as I know.

My last etch tests were done months ago, but I am preparing to run a new
set. The last tests I ran would have been acceptable for passing the
LSB.
