Well, there are some packages which use something like this: if [ -f /lib/lsb/init-functions ]; then . /lib/lsb/init-functions fi On the other hand, lsb-base (>= 3.0-6) has been pseudo-essential for some time, it is included since etch and packages like util-linux depend on it. The effort to parse this correctly does seem a bit much for a check that has no practical influence for new packages.
