 multiarch. All except the new redhat-lsb base package store files below
 /etc/lsb-release.d/

 > This is a good way. But we cannot just simply place a file in /etc/lsb-
 release.d just for resolving this problem, because /usr/bin/lsb_release
 commands depends files' name in /etc/lsb-release.d directory. Now, we have
 two ways to resolve this problem.
 > First, we create a file in /etc/lsb-release.d and have redhat-lsb
 package to store this file, then add a %post script to remove this file
 after install redhat-lsb package.
 Here we need carefully consider this file's %verify setting, and I think
 we need recreate this file using %preun scriptlets before we remove
 redhat-lsb.
 >
 > Second, we move /%{_lib}/%{lsbldso}.$LSBVER from redhat-lsb-core to
 redhat-lsb for fedora <= 17, just like this:
 > {{{
 > %files
 > %if %({ [ 0%{fedora} -gt 17 ] && echo 0; } || echo 1)
 > /%{_lib}/*so*
 > %endif
 >
 > %files core
 > %dir %{_sysconfdir}/lsb-release.d
 > %if %({ [ 0%{fedora} -le 17 ] && echo 0; } || echo 1)
 > /%{_lib}/*so*
 > %endif
 > }}}
 > I don't know whether we can resolve this problem if we store /etc/lsb-
 release.d directory in redhat-lsb. It's more natural if we can resolve
 this problem just do this. I'm not sure about this way.
