Since I didn't understand the Debian-official position on this topic, here is the relevant section from wikipedia: "Debian strived to comply with the LSB, but with many limitations. However, this effort ceased around July 2015 due to lack of interest and workforce inside the project. In September 2015, the Debian project confirmed that while support for Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) would continue, support for LSB had been dropped. Ubuntu followed Debian in November 2015." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base > ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ > ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Jonathan Dowland > ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://jmtd.net > ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list. >
