Why would Debian lie to ours users about the conformance of our systems? Our name (Debian) would soon be mud when third party programs failed to run on our system because it really wasn't compliant. Debian (and the others distribution) don't lie the users. (In the LJ: 'XXX isn't LCS conform. ... The LCS program on this distribution lie the Users...' A nice headline in the press.)
