What do the Debian folks think of this? My fear is that Debian will opt out of being LSB compliant if it means they have to switch to RPM, leaving those of us based on Debian in a situation where we can't be LSB compliant, and weakening the importance of the LSB standard.
How technically hard would it be for Debian to use the RPM package format without throwing out the rest of their packaging architecture?
