Are you referring to LSB or to Denis? The "Berlin API" was
proposed by  Jeff Licquia, not Denis, here

     https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Berlin_Packaging_API

And we're talking 3 methods in the API, this is hardly a radical or  
disturbing API:

     bool compare_dependency(const char *package_name, relation_t  
relationship, const char *version)

   bool register_package(const char *package_name, const char  
*version, manifest_t manifest)

   bool unregister_package(const char *package_name)
