Due to prioritisation of effort and energy the Lintian maintainers put very little time and effort into curating these "certainty" levels. I would thus not read anything into them whatsoever and certainly not be too irked if they do not match reality. Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org chris-lamb.co.uk `-

Hm, why the moreinfo tag? This lintian check is clearly way too broad to be useful as-is. At its current state, please demote it to pedantic (or reverting it completely) until it actually is useful.

The current policy requirement is that everything would need to provide a sysvinit script, see https://bugs.debian.org/911165 Sadly the process to change this is stuck. Ansgar
Bug#931847: Boggus package-supports-alternative-init-but-no-init.d-script test?
Package: lintian
Version: 2.16.0
Severity: important
Hi,
Isn't the new package-supports-alternative-init-but-no-init.d-script
test boggus (added by: #926471)?
The test is the following:
if ( $file =~ m,etc/sv/([^/]+)/run$,
or $file =~ m,lib/systemd/system/(.*)\.service,) {
Shouldn't that this be an "and"?
My understanding of the policy is that, if a package supports an
alternative init (other than systemd) it must also support sysvinit.
Also note that if the check is actually correct, this will create false
positive for all the systemd .service files not started at boot
(scheduled jobs, dbus activated,...).
Kind regards,
Laurent Bigonville
