Hopefully not, lsb has just gone haywire, it's a description of
what commercially successful distributions already have rather
than what should be aspired to to make peoples lives easier. It
has rpm as a package format for crying out loud.
lsb support in Debian looks like it's going to be something that
is apt-get installable, install some package and you get the
neccessary tools.
I can tell you now that if running lsb-compliant distros, using
only the featureset in lsb, my life as an admin would be orders
of magnitude harder. I'll have my FHS, debconf and Debian-policy
and keep it, much much better.
