Ubuntu 6.06 is LSB compliant with bash.

Also, from the LSB main page at
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/LSB:
"The LSB offers a cost-effective way for application vendors to target
multiple Linux distributions while building only one software package."

This too is an interesting read:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Application_Compatibility

In essence, it says that if your app runs on a LSB 3.1 compliant system,
then it will run on LSB 3.2, 4.0, etc. The use of dash might interfere
with that concept.
