I agree with Branden here, all of his concerns are valid. Certainly the LSB does not force every Linux machine to be a workstation. This would force the numerous Debian web/news/mail server installations around the world to install openGL which is just silly. Now, if we have a 'Workstation' setup, it should install some form of GL, probably xlibmesa.
