Description

lsb-release-1.4 does not include support for /etc/lsb-release.d/ and the manpage needs to be updated support the : separated list of specifications. No upstream package exists. Latest is easily available from RedHat at:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/redhat-lsb/lsb-release-2.0.tar.gz/f4b50cc38065cf46e9102fd357d1eb0b/lsb-release-2.0.tar.gz

What information would go in /etc/lsb-release.d/?

What would be in a colon separated list?

The url appears to be red-hat specific, but the README says:

Note that this is an \example/ implementation.

The specification requires only an lsb_release command to exist, and to return the information in the format described. The fact that the manual page generated from this software describes implementation details of this example should not be construed as placing any additional requirements on implementors beyond those just noted. In particular, the existance and format of the /etc/lsb-release file and the /etc/lsb-release.d directory are not part of the LSB specification

My recommendation is to mark wontfix.
