Package: lintian Version: 2.4.3 Severity: wishlist I just reviewed a package which had a "Depends: upstart", and it occurred to me that lintian could check for that. No normal package should ever depend on a particular init system; packages just need to work with whatever init system the user has installed, and/or rely on those init systems to remain compatible with whatever the package provides. (Exceptions potentially exist for packages providing management tools for one particular init system.)
