The specification was released after Debian woody was released, hence,
there is only little chance of fixing the remaining incomplientnesses.
Debian is mostly LSB compliant. It was not a release goal to postpone
the release of woody even longer so the LSB spec/testuite was released
and we could react to it.

As Roland said, Debian sid (unstable) should be compliant, maybe testing
as well.
What exactly is it that you are missing and which is the reason you
cannot use the distribution you like to but are bound to another?
Quite often, there is a way to fix that gap for you, if you really
want.
(I may be wrong, since I don't remember all details, so please bear
with me.)
