Thank you David for bringing up this issue.
My understanding is that LSB functional compliance and whatever
packaging standard you are using are -separate- issues. Please see the
"LSB Status" discussion from November, December and January on this list.
This issue is probably the first of many that demonstrates the need for
a clearer understanding of Debian's intent toward LSB. Ignoring it
won't make it go away and simply allows us to slip further behind in
getting compliance steps moving.
