Well, is debian supposed to be LSB-compliant? I don't think so, so no problem

I know that you Debian guys were attached to your file-type oriented
structure (stylesheets vs entities vs dtds etc). The LSB one is a
DTD-oriented one (docbook vs html vs tei etc). I'm not too surprised that the
result mixes both approaches :-). Personally, I prefer to stick to only one
philosophy at once, but of course it's personal taste.

... and that you preferred hierarchies with several levels, while the LSB one
is very flat. Again, matter of tastes.

Conflicting, but not so far away one with the other.

Oooofff... LSB is very close from 1.0.
