Mike, I read it a bit differently. Are you implying that Chapter 11 "System Initialization" does not apply to Debian? I think that Chapter specifies an API for system level functioning and is mandatory for LSB compliance. This Chapter includes sections on cron jobs run-levels init scripts and script functions. Reading the introduction it specifies that anything that is optional will be specified as optional. This looks mandatory to me. Do you have a reference from the LSB document that helps clarify this?
