It may be better to draft a guideline against dependencies on redhat-lsb. In my opinion
the purpose of redhat-lib is
just making fedora an LSB compliant distribution that proprietary softwares such as opera,
adobe reader can run in fedora or other LSB compliant distributions with system-wide
dynamic libs instead of linking static libs.
No packages in official fedora repo really need reqiure lsb package.

I understand the comment from Kevin at "03/16/10 21:11:09" that it would
also be ok to require potential subpackages once redhat-lsb has been
made more granular.
