Seems reasonable. According to this bug

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=468147

some packages do this:

if [ -f /lib/lsb/init-functions ]; then
  . /lib/lsb/init-functions
fi

If you can make that to work, that would be indeed better than adding
a dependency on lsb-base.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think so. The non-Linux platforms in Debian
are still using sysvinit.

Thanks.
