The LSB states that the distribution must support RPMs, but it doesn't say |
| 7 |
how. You don't have to have an rpm-based distribution, you can very well have |
| 8 |
a conversion that creates ebuilds from an RPM. |

The only problem you would have are dependencies, and the LSB clearly defines |
| 11 |
what dependencies are allowed in LSB-RPMs. |
