Wena,
I have never used LSI, but there is a regular participant in the Scribus listserve who uses them all the time. Just today he replied to a thread there and I think his answer may help you, pasted below. Note at the end the instructions for joining the listserve.

The conversion to PDF X/1-a:2001 is very simple. I load the sla file into Scribus 1.5.0 and save from there. To keep LSI happy I
also use an ICC profile that is taken from a standard ICC profile but with in ink saturation limit of 240%. The profile can be
found here:
http://wexfordpress.com/tex/SWOPcoated5_240.iccA kind person on the icc mailing list created it for me.
For those who lack 1.5.0 and who prepare files for LSI I suggest saving as a tiff file. LSI will accept that format.
I don't use the LSI template but I do follow their cover file naming convention of course. I created my own Scribus template
facility here:
http://wexfordpress.net/template.htmlYou fill out a form and get another form back with the values to plug into Scribus (any version.) The values are overall height
and width of the document (including bleeds) and the positions of vertical guides.
Downloading and compiling 1.5.0 is not so simple for Windows and OS X users, although it can be done of course. That is why I
campaigned (unsuccessfully) for inclusion of the X/1-a output in some earlier version of Scribus. I am happy with my nightly
download of 1.5.0, but others don't have the facilities for compilation etc. that I have with Slackware Linux.
I note that the compilation dates of both 1.4.0 RC6 and 1.5.0 are up to November 21. I am very happy with either product. I use
1.4.0 RC6 in the expectation that it will be more complete and more clean than 1.5.0 but I have no objective evidence to support
that theory.
It would be nice if the former facility for accessing the style editor from within the story editor was revived, but I have learned to live with that unfortunate limitation.
