This was done to help distributions better handle situations where
there are binary incompatibilities with newer versions of libraries
(and so or symbol versions aren't incremented appropriately). If I
understand the situation correctly the distribution will still be able
to ship the newer versions of the libraries but also have another set
which are LSB compliant. Programs linked against /lib/ld-lsb.so.1 will
get the LSB compliant versions.
