Does that really matter? These are LSB packages that just happen to share
the RPM format, aren't they?

Making it possible for users to tell at a glance whether they've
got a real LSB package, or something specific to one of the the RPM
distributions seems to me a much more useful feature than working with
every J. Random RPM tool out there.
