The fix is pretty easy. Whats really bugging me is that nobody
dares to touch the complex code of lsb-base. IMHO this is a clear
indication that Debian lost the blessed path other Unixes do follow.
What is your suggestion here? Apply the patch I provided (or maybe a
better one), or get rid of lsb-base completely?
My suggestion is unless you are prepared to adopt and maintain lsb-base,
(as Didier has made clear he wants to orphan it), find an alternative
tool to achieve what you want.
