[Bug 1009] New: zcat: is the command in or out?

zcat is not in the LSB database nor, apparently, considered an LSB command (see
bug 543).  The FHS describes zcat, but doesn't say you have to have it. 

The following programs, or symbolic links to programs, must be in /bin if the
corresponding subsystem is installed:

...
zcat    The GNU uncompression utility (optional)
...

If the gunzip and zcat programs exist, they must be symbolic or hard links to
gzip.

However, lsb-runtime-test in the lsb-fhs section, is looking for zcat and
doesn't seem to read it as optional.

Categorizing first against the spec for a reading on whether the command should
be required or not (we do require gzip and gunzip); if the answer is no this
should be recategorized to lsb-runtime-test.
