Yes, this is the idea. When organisation object is deployed, all
LIRs will get an organisation object automatically (but the details
must be worked out) and the new LIRs will get an organisation object
as well, when they become an LIR (or, if already exists, their organisation
object will be modified to have "LIR" in 'org-type:' attribute).
