I can't speak for all of Debian obviously, but here's my personal opinion...
I think this work around would only be needed for stable, unstable should be
able to do 3.0 on it's own (and probably 2.0 at the same time). LSB
certification needs to be for a clearly defined release. I think the work
around packages could be constructed and made available at an alternate apt
source, but I suspect that the stable release managers might object to adding
them to a point release. But since it shouldn't break any existing ABI (since
it's only adding stuff) maybe it would be ok. I guess we'd have to ask.
Also it might be possible to certify "Debian 3.1 plus LSB 3.0 compatibility
extension" or something like that, but I think that is suboptimal.

The distros that build on top of sarge could ship those packages and certify
their releases.
