Given that I'm (so far) convinced that _not_ providing the lsb packages
at all is the correct thing to do for Debian, I'd prefer if another DD
could sponsor any upload of src:lsb re-introducing these (and drop me
from Uploaders).
That said, as for the technical issue at hand, iff these symlinks [0]
are useful to make Debian relevant for (some) non-free software out
there, couldn't they be handled directly by libc6 on the various
architectures ?
src:eglibc maintainers: opinions ?
Cheers,
OdyX
