Linux Standard Base? Not only is Qt not part of that since Jessie, lsb-desktop only provides Qt4.

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/lsb-desktop

Qt 3 was officially removed from lsb in 2015 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base)

So unfortunately, no. Not a solution for software lifespan. Especially since LSB is all but abandoned by most Linux platforms. It also doesn't really help with BSD and other platforms.
