I guess I need to learn how this is actually implemented.
I thought it didn't do depend generation when it was an LSB
package (and as you point out, lsb-runtime-test isn't fully
an LSB package anyway), and I thought that was determined 
by seeing the appropriate lsb depend (lsb-core these days).
I guess neither is true and I was misguided.  I did do an
experiment to see if I could build an "LSB package" from
the Debian side and convert it to an rpm and pkgchk it,
and it turned out I saw what you just mention - the dependencies 
are indeed generated so you can't produce an LSB package this way.
