I would tend to agree, I know I am a newbie on this list but I thought that the lsb package dependancy should already be solved due to that is in the spec I thought. So in order to comply should that package already be on the system? Or does that package dependancy only count on distributions and not applications that run on them?
I can understand running on a non-compliant distro people might not want to install an extra package. Even though LSB is really just skeleton. Just my 2 cents and it probably is not even worth that.
