Well, there are some packages which use something like this:
if [ -f /lib/lsb/init-functions ]; then
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
fi
On the other hand, lsb-base (>= 3.0-6) has been pseudo-essential for
some time, it is included since etch and packages like util-linux depend
on it.
The effort to parse this correctly does seem a bit much for a check that
has no practical influence for new packages.
