Thank you David for bringing up this issue. My understanding is that LSB functional compliance and whatever packaging standard you are using are -separate- issues. Please see the "LSB Status" discussion from November, December and January on this list. This issue is probably the first of many that demonstrates the need for a clearer understanding of Debian's intent toward LSB. Ignoring it won't make it go away and simply allows us to slip further behind in getting compliance steps moving. -- -- Grant Bowman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
