"As for Debian, it has always followed the LSB; and other standards like the FHS for that matter."

This is simply not true. SuSE back in the day got a lot of flames for "non-standard file locations" and "not following the standard" when in fact it was the first to follow LSB and the FHS while Debian still wasn't. People simply assumed that Debian must be following standards so everyone who did things differently couldn't have been. It's good that Debian cought up though.
