To the point, the rest of the discussion here revolves around init scripts and the filesystem hierarchy, which are the only parts of LSB that anyone actually used. (And they&#x27;re sticking around in Debian, at least for now.)<p>In theory LSB meant a vendor could ship an RPM that would work flawlessly on any Linux distro supporting that LSB release (which on Debian meant supporting RPM alongside DEB as a package format). In practice vendors would just target RHEL and&#x2F;or Ubuntu and call it a day.
