The LSB has two sets of requirements, one on distributions, one on LSB
packages. As a distribution, Debian needs to conform to the requirements
the LSB places on distributions, not the requirements the LSB places on
third-party packages.
Specifically, the behaviour of individual init scripts is a requirement
placed on LSB packages, not distributions; so Debian packages should
follow Debian policy.
HTH.
