It was discussed; while I generally agree with you this
was a case where (for now) it was considered it could
provide a barrier to entry for people who don't otherwise
have an LSB-conforming distro to use for their testing.

We do, although I'm finding information on it not particularly
easy to find.
If you drill down below:
http://ftp.linuxfoundation.org/pub/lsb/repositories
you can find stuff for released packages, and under:
http://ftp.linuxfoundation.org/pub/snapshots/repositories
you can find the nightly-build development packages.
I've got apt and yum recipies for these but before
posting them I'll have another hunt for the wiki page
I *thought* we had which describes these.
The application checker is actually several packages,
there might be some benefit to a "task" package which
makes sure all of them are in place.
