It's not a bad idea, but it's not something that we've gained
any traction with.  Project either seem not to see the need,
or need more than the LSB has in it today, or either have
been burned by or are using autopackage (either case may leave
then unlikely to look at LSB). Even where we've done the
work we haven't gotten people to adopt it (apache, samba,
rsync, python, etc.)

This is more in light of a "be aware of this" than something
to say not to work on it.
