Yeah, but don't DNS servers need to have the correct version of libc? 
Don't DNS server developers want to avoid porting to different linux
systems?  Wouldn't DNS developers want a proven packaging method to
install on "LSB compliant" systems?  The same argument for having an LSB
exists for every application developed by a third party, not just GUI
apps.
