Will this be fixed in future versions of LSB?
I don't believe the LSB currently agrees with Jeff on the state of play.
Yep. LSB prohibits all dependencies save one in *.rpm packages and does not have a testable and objective meaning for Requires: lsb except Whatever LSB says or will say in the future.
OTOH, the benefit of that is that *.tar and *.rpm become functionally equivalent
when LSB compliant. In fact, that was one of the stated goals of the LSB packaging standard.
