Which the LSB is apparently once again putting effort behind.  It does not 
replace deb, rpm, etc, but instead allows a check for version of LSB 
compliance, and can install using the package manager for that distribution.  
Being LSB compliant, they have the lsb (meta)package which contains all the 
required libraries.
