I'd really like to separate out that issue -- use or misuse of redhat-lsb,
packaging for generality vs. packaging for fedora -- from this one.

And this one is: packages should not print out messages complaining about
the state of other packages in Fedora. That's not the right process for
solving those issues. If redhat-lsb is broken, there's a procedure for
dealing with that, and it isn't "give confusing warnings to the end users!"
