Note that it is only pointers to on-line documentation.

Even if all LSB-related documentation cannot be copied in this README,
1) this documentation could be packaged (is it already in one lsb* package ?)
2) some example for "common" cases can be provided. I'm thinking about
   LSB header examples to start local services before gdm/xdm or at the
   end of the debian boot.
For now, an admin will have to do a lot of researches in the documentation
to know how to convert its 'simple' /etc/init.d/my_local_service that was
just working with two symlinks.
  In practice, due to this local, non-LSB, init file, the change to inserv
fails and the admin stick to sysvinit. I already saw this behavior several
times.
