Description-en: Linux Standard Base support package
The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) is a standard
core system that third-party applications written for Linux can
depend upon.
.
This package provides an implementation of only the printing and core
modules of the Linux Standard Base for Ubuntu. Recent versions of Ubuntu
do not implement the full LSB interfaces; this package is provided only for
compatibility with third-party printer driver packages which depend on the
lsb package.
.
The intent of this package is to provide a best current practice way
of installing and running LSB packages on Debian GNU/Linux. Its presence
does not imply that Ubuntu fully complies with the Linux Standard Base,
and should not be construed as a statement that Ubuntu is LSB-compliant.
