Uh, is there any existing free implementation related code? .lsb packages
that are expected to be able to be installed on compliant distros to
test with, sample implementations of lsb_release, lsb/install_initd,
lsb/remove_initd, and lsb/init-functions, or anything similar? The
"Implementation" stuff seems to be mainly focussed on getting libraries
synced up (as does the spec itself, really).

Hmm, there's a bug in the "System Initialization / Init Script Actions"
section: presumably we know whether start-stop-daemon is included in
the LSB by now.

Cheers,
