[Fedora-packaging] FESCo request: guideline about dependencies on redhat-lsb

[Chen Lei]

It may be better to draft a guideline against dependencies on redhat-lsb. In my opinion the purpose of redhat-lib is 
just making fedora an LSB compliant distribution that proprietary softwares such as opera, adobe reader can run in fedora or other LSB compliant distributions with system-wide dynamic libs instead of linking static libs. 
 No packages in official fedora repo really need reqiure lsb package.

Regard,
Chen Lei
