Oh no... That means 'rpm' is going to be in system?!?! :-/

Following the installation guide, this will be installed. To include it in 
system would mean the install guide would have to install the cron app before 
system, which may or may not work.

grep provides both of these. egrep is short for grep -e... not sure what fgrep 
is.

See comment about cron implementations. CUPS provides 'lpr', and I'm sure the 
non-CUPS printing stuff probably does too.

This is likely already in system...

Ok, this would be a reason to include 'man', but are man-pages required by the 
LSB?

Surprised to see rsync... Except for Gentoo, does anyone really use this on a 
common basis?

Probably already in system also.

Then the LSB is obsolete. =p
Seriously, though, this is probably because bzip has it's own custom license 
which some GNU/Linux distributions might not want to require. As it is, a 
normal desktop Gentoo system requires accepting around 14 or 15 licenses.

Or, more like what Mandrake does and perhaps better, have a 'lsb' package 
which simply DEPENDs on all LSB-required applications. This would be better 
than another profile, IMO.
