This is a step in the right direction, but it is only half way. To be
useful lsb-core needs to be split of in a separate sub-package too, so
that the "initscript and lsb_release stuff" can be installed without
dragging in any random library dependencies. With the new version you
get rid of the graphics and printing libraries, but you still get a lot
of junk.
