Title:
  Change to lsb package in 16.04+ breaks backwards compatibility

Status in lsb package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus, lsb has been changed (removed?
  numbering scheme altered?) in such a way that installation of various
  software becomes impossible due to missing dependencies.

  Most prominently it has become impossible to install the Linux driver 
packages for Epson printers (available from Epson).
  While the repositories contain a package (escpr) for epson printer drivers, 
this package provides only limited functionality (indicated by the r suffix in 
the package), which in some cases prevents any reasonable work with Epson 
printers (e.g. no support for duplex printing, additional paper cartridges, 
etc.).
  In my case, a Stylus Office BX925 (compatible to Workforce 840) can't be used 
with Ubuntu anymore, except for the most simple printing tasks.

  This issue affects the drivers and utilities for other printer brands
  as well.

  Further affected software seems to be e.g. Google Earth.

  While it's reasonable to assume that Google Earth will be eventually
  updated, there's no such guarantee for affected printer
  drivers/utilities, given the notoriously bad official Linux support of
  some hardware.
