Formats supported

Whether removing support for RPMv3 header+payload signatures from rpm-5.0
is a retrograde step or not depends on whether you think that the additional signature
on header+payload adds security or not.

However, I do point you at the following links for additional information
regarding LSB "standard" packaging:
    http://rpm5.org/community/rpm-lsb/0001.html
    https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/packaging/20...

The original report of problems with LSB packaging failing to pass LSB's own test suite are at
