Mike, I read it a bit differently. Are you implying that Chapter 11
"System Initialization" does not apply to Debian? I think that Chapter
specifies an API for system level functioning and is mandatory for LSB
compliance. This Chapter includes sections on cron jobs run-levels init
scripts and script functions.
Reading the introduction it specifies that anything that is optional
will be specified as optional. This looks mandatory to me. Do you have
a reference from the LSB document that helps clarify this?
