My understanding is that libstdc++5 is still in the LSB (or at least
required by past LSB versions that aren't officially dead yet), but
I'll gladly rm the dependency if that's no longer the case. I don't
have time to look it up now since I'm getting ready for a trip to
Chicago... if someone can check in the meantime I'd appreciate it.

C++ Module Changes
The C++ ABI is changed to the one used by gcc 3.4 (indications are
that gcc 4.0 is also compatible with this). As designed by the gcc
project, the libstdc++
library has completely changed symbol versions and the library major
version, to match deployments, LSB needed to make the same change.
This was done intentionally to clearly distinguish the library from
the one used by earlier compiler versions. libstdc++.so.6 is now the
required library. This library can easily coexist with the
libstdc++.so.5 used to provide LSB 2.x conformance. During the review
period some unneeded symbols were discovered, and since this new
library has no backward compatibility issues in the context of the
LSB, they were simply removed (e.g. istrstream, ostrstream). The
symbol and symbol version set matches that of GCC 3.4.2 and 3.4.3.

so if lsb-cxx is to provide LSB 3.x compatibility as per it's
description, one can drop libstdc++5
Kind regards
