Please find, for review, the debconf templates of lsb. This review will last from Wednesday, April 25, 2007 to Saturday, May 05, 2007. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.

Description: Linux Standard Base version reporting utility
The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) is a standard
core system that third-party applications written for Linux can
depend upon.
.
The lsb-release command is a simple tool to help identify the Linux
distribution being used and its compliance with the Linux Standard Base.
LSB conformance will not be reported unless the required metapackages are
installed.
.
While it is intended for use by LSB packages, this command may also
be useful for programmatically distinguishing between a pure Debian
installation and derived distributions.
