When alien crafts the deb packaging it does so using debhelper's
dh_shlibdeps. This utility scans all the files in the package and
determines the package dependencies. In the case of libc it always does a
versioned dependency >= the current system version, since it's has no way
of determining what you might be using in libc.

It looks like the code it written in a way that the deb generating backend
doesn't care if the frontend was rpm or lsb (or tgz) and always does the
same thing.

Yeah that's how it works (still using "lsb" not "lsb-core" maybe a bug
needs to be filed?).
