Package: lintian Version: 2.15.0 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Please consider expanding the init.d-script-should-always-start-service tag with also matching on NO_START. That should catch a few more cases. There seems to exist both these variants: FOO_NO_START=.... NO_START=.... See eg. activemq package. For extra bonus points you might want to investigate if you can also catch cases that supports the anti-pattern in the init script, but generates the /etc/default/foo file in postinst rather than ship it as a conffile in the package. (Which makes me really wonder why they just don't add the right flags to update-rc.d / invoke-rc.d instead which would be soooooo much simpler!) See eg. dropbear Regards, Andreas Henriksson
