Regarding the LSB, I don't know whether the format of packages produced by rpm
in current Fedora releases is LSB compliant even without any Group tag
changes. If it is, I suppose making Group optional in specfiles does not
necessarily mean losing LSB compliance, rpmbuild could just insert some fixed
string as its value in the package headers it produces if the tag is not
present in a specfile.
