While it may be beneficial to include some aspects of the LSB init script policy in our own, complete compliance would break existing behavior and is unnecessarily complex. There's no good reason for Debian scripts to need to comply with the LSB, as Debian packages are not LSB packages. The LSB init script policy also says that all distro init script names must be registered with LANANA, which is a total crock. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
