For instance, we can _easily_ have LSB-compliant packages for Apache, Mozilla, Samba, Squid, etc if we make them ourselves. In fact, for at least a couple of these, we'll end up needing someone to maintain an lsb package in the long term anyway. (They will probably be included in most distributions, but they don't all maintain binary releases themselves but are generally happy to have someone maintain 'official' ones for them.) This task may get a lot easier (but a little more time consuming) if we automatically add some key free software projects with the intention of doing the packaging ourselves. I can certainly help with the list of packages in free software-land that span a variety of the areas of the lsb. I can also contact all of these projects to see if there is interest in having them maintain lsb packages. For those that won't do it themselves, but are willing to let someone else do it, I can work on it a little, but my RPM-foo is admittedly bad.
