I have had a look at the "LSB Core" specification version 3.2. The

Most of them are already provided by standard/important/required
packages:
at standard
bash required
bc standard
bsd-mailx standard
bsdmainutils important
bsdutils required
coreutils required
cpio important
cron important
diff required
ed important
exim4 standard
file standard
findutils required
mawk required
gettext-base standard
grep required
gzip required
hostname required
libc6 required
login required
m4 standard
man-db important
mktemp required
mount required
passwd required
patch standard
procps required
sed required
sysvinit required
sysvinit-utils required
time standard
tar required
util-linux required
But the following packages/commands have lower priority...
binutils optional
* binaries: ar, strip
* Depends: No new Dependencies.
* Size: 2686k/7717k
cups-bsd extra
cups-client optional
* binaries: lp, lpr
* Depends: cups-common, libcups2, libcupsimage2, libjpeg62,
libpng12-0, libtiff4
* Size: 115+164+166+86+169+1175+37 = 1912k
* InstalledSize: 393+426+295+168+369+5460+168 = 7279k
gettext optional
* binaries: msgfmt
* Depends: libgomp1
* Size (.deb/installed) => 2672k+14k / 7274k+62k
=> Postpone in Squeeze: move the binary msgfmt to gettext-base?
psmisc optional
* binaries: fuser, killall
* Depends: No new Dependencies.
* Size (.deb/installed) => 85k/504k
libc6-dev optional
* binaries: gencat
* Depends: linux-libc-dev
* Size (.deb/installed) =>3377k+756k/13.3M+3957k
lsb-release extra
* binary: lsb_release
* Depends: No new Dependencies.
* Size (.deb/installed) =>20k/90k
make optional
* binary: make
* Depends: No new Dependencies.
* Size (.deb/installed) =>382k/992k
pax optional
* binary: pax
* Depends: No new Dependencies.
* Size (.deb/installed) => 52k/147k
install_initd
remove_initd
* Not is Debian so it's another story.
So, none of the important core commands are missing(!)
lsb-release, psmisc and pax could be candidate could be upgraded to
standard (IMHO).
Happy new year,
Franklin
