On the sample implementation the RPM installation does not complain 
about missing PPDs, but about missing directories:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
bash-3.1# rpm -Uvh /tmp/work/splix-1.0.1-0.beta2.1lsb3.1.i486.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
         /opt is needed by splix-1.0.1-0.beta2.1lsb3.1.i486
         /opt/lib/printdriver is needed by splix-1.0.1-0.beta2.1lsb3.1.i486
         /opt/share/ppd is needed by splix-1.0.1-0.beta2.1lsb3.1.i486
bash-3.1#
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once RPM should simply create the directories and not complain, and 
second, all the directories are there, I have created them before trying 
to install the RPM.

I have changed it to "lsb >= 3.1" now.
