Possibly, but irrelevant. Debian packages are not LSB compliant; that is, they cannot be reliably installed on a random LSB compliant system. Nor is there any intent that Debian packages be LSB compliant. OTOH, Debian can be a LSB compliant *system*, on which you can install LSB compliant packages, which is the whole intent of the LSB: that you can build packages which install on arbitrary LSB compliant systems. It's not meant to be applied to distribution specific packages.

Debian Lenny frozen Posted Jul 30, 2008 5:16 UTC (Wed) by MattPerry (guest, #46341) [Link] Well, if OO.o made debs available that were LSb compliant, then they would work on any LSB compliant distro. Then there wouldn't be a need for each distro to create backports, or to even have to package the software for their particular distribution. The OO.o repository could be added to the sources list and updated directly from the ISV. This means you could have whatever version you wanted on your system with little effort.
