i am working on a implementation of that for openrc for a while now, it's been working nicely so far: https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/pull/573
I've used this opportunity to look at some recent init files.
Here's one of the first I stumbled upon.

It's 288 lines long; the LSB dependency nonsense is 8 lines of that.
Then I looked up one for Postgres;
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Lsb_conforming_init_script
This one is a whooping 356 lines long, LSB is again about 10 lines long, depending whether you count the header or not.
I don't think the "LSB dependency" argument holds water.
