I would still like to see that this lsb-<something> package also
provides 'lsb'. This could then be used for packages which only require
the non-binary parts of the LSB (e.g. scripts etc.). I have to admit,
though, that there are probably hardly any which are apt to do so.
(At least as long as python or perl is not part of the LSB.)
