Why?

Don't loose the context Duncan. The message I replied to was talking about distribution indipendent. You'll not achieve this without creating a LSB compliant build.

You can, with multiple builds.

And then putting the multiple builds together in on .osi file, in order to have it distribution independent? Sounds like a huge overhead, when it comes to a download afterwards.

Yes, but our aim is not to solve the common Linux platform issue here. The problem you describe is a specific case of the solution. If the software is available as a lsb build, nothing prevents the OSI to ship a repo for LSB which the handler would match in any LSB distro. But if this is not the case, one has to ship the available builds (or even, the supported ones, a vendor may want to support his software in one platform only) and the handler has to complain if a build for that target is not available.
