Can I a Debian user opt to not install "LSB" without ill effects?
Some ...er, many Debian packages depend on lsb-base.
'apt-cache rdepends lsb-base' for a long list.
Yes, but in that case installing one of those packages will install
lsb-base automatically. Personally, I don't see any reason for the
average user to /manually/ install any part of LSB.
That raises a general question of installer priorities - is it installed
by default. I need to go re-read installer documentation.
When I did 'apt-cache --installed rdepends lsb-base' it showed packages
which I explicitly use on a daily basis.
