We had just recently a semi-official and a bit broader (and very simple 
actually) interpretation. Using it on Swazoo:  LGPL is covered if you 
extend Swazoo by some other package as is in your case, Philippe. Reason 
IMHO is simple: borders between Swazoo and code it uses it is preserved 
and clear.
