Nonsense. The Debian team greatly value the LSB and have gone to great 
lengths to comply with it. In fact, I'd say a pathological effort to 
comply with every conceivable standard out there, no matter how 
obscure, is one of the very hallmarks of the Debian project.

The failure of any package to comply with the LSB is considered a 
release-critical bug for the latest stable release and onwards. Debian 
has an active mailing list entirely devoted to LSB compliance, and 
originally hosted many of the mailing lists used by the LSB project 
itself.

As far as I can see, neither the LSB nor the FHS (which the LSB includes 
by reference for the relevant areas) make any mention of either the 
sysconfig or the network subhierarchies.

Fortunately, it seems that inelegant but widespread practices of the 
RPM-based crowd are not yet codified by automation in the LSB.
