 I agree with Branden (and FWIW, I object to this proposal).

 In order to achieve LSB compliance a lsb package will be needed.  This
 package can depend on all the required packages that provide the
 libraries that should be present on a LSB-compliant system.  The LSB
 document specifies that a LSB-compliant package ''must depend on a
 dependency (sic) "lsb". They may not depend on other system-provided
 dependencies''

 he is not (IOW, his is not the only way to achieve LSB compliance)
