FWIW, the current edition of the LSB does require the various LSB addons, but since the LSB doesn't define any interfaces in /etc/init.d except those provided by LSB packages, the requirement is meaningless in practice. For example, it is illegal for an LSB-conformant application to call /etc/init.d/apache restart, because /etc/init.d/apache is not defined in the specification. Presumably a later edition of the LSB will define some init.d entry points, but it hasn't happened yet.
