The LSB standard is not enforced by distributions, you get subtle
differences despite "LSB support". Debian was also never "LSB-
certified".

If that program is free software, that's not an issue; either the
program _is_ in Debian already, or it could become part of it.
Do you have a specific program in mind?

The more complete reasoning are spelled out there:

https://lists.debian.org/4682310.7LIWdV4Lar@gyllingar
In short: the LSB support as was implemented by Debian was an
uncomfortable, unsustainable and unreasonable middle-ground.
