So the LSB is just about convienience then is it (do whats easiest) ?

If LSB compromise on quality then they will only ever get a subset of
the community supporting it, why not try for something better than both
RPM or DEB, its the only way people will willingly change.

If nothing can be made that is better than both RPM and DEB then both
package systems obviously have a purpose.
