This is called "shooting the messenger".

LSB requires various obsolete interfaces, in particular it requires
Python 2 to be available as /usr/bin/python. Comment [1] contains a
nice listing. We are not going to bring back Python 2 or old PERL
modules to satisfy LSB. The decision of FESCo is to not claim
compatibility when we don't provide it.
