The LSB has always tried hard to stay firmly out of "what packages" discussion. It isn't a requirement for standardising so it is something tha can be left to the market. There is actually already a lot of correlation and things that get picked up by most vendors generally rapidly end up adopted by all - because the community drives much of the adoption (Xorg being an obvious example).
