The rpm package manager (rpm) is a command-line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating computer software packages.

this is a version of rpm built to create rpm v3 packages as used in the linux standards base. you should need this package only if you are developing lsb packages; you do not need it to install or use lsb packages on debian.

the binary is linked statically so it should be possible to use it in the restricted lsbdev environment.
