This feels cumbersome, but let's ask a question:

today, can an ordinary user start lsb-buildenv, or does
that have to be the superuser?

if the former, it feels reasonable to do sequences like:

lsb-buildenv --target=desktop start
... build stuff
lsb-buildenv stop

but if the latter, I'd expect it to be a boot-time thing
instead, and thus I wouldn't want the option to be a
startup option, but rather a build-time option of some
sort.
