At the bottom though is this:

"The distribution itself may use a different packaging format for its own packages, and of course it may use any available mechanism for installing the LSB-conformant packages."

doesn't that mean that we can install our packages anyway we want (source code), but we have to provide a way to handle rpms as well?

I think this kills off any possibility that we will ever be able to be
completely LSB compliant to be able to recieve certification.

"Applications should be provided in the RPM packaging format as defined
in the appendix of the 1997 edition of Maximum RPM, with some
restrictions listed below."
