Let's suppose that someone produces a potential LSB Runtime Environment 
that is not certified, and that has some deficiencies.  This 
environment's installation system allows for "supplemental media" to be 
provided at install time for the purposes of fixing bugs, installing 
add-on software, and so on.

Let's also suppose that a third party produces "supplemental media" 
usable by the original Environment's installer which contain fixes for 
the deficiencies in the LSB Runtime Environment.  With these fixes 
applied, the Environment is now suitable for certification.

Would the combination of the original media and the supplemental media 
be distinct enough to qualify as a separate product, or must the third 
party generate new media with a new installer and with the fixes 
integrated onto the media?  Or is there some other way for the third 
party to achieve LSB certification for the combined Environment?
