Could you confirm and in this case propose a replacement ?

Bug#717595: Please check for update-rc.d start and stop argument usage

2013-12-17 Thread Bastien ROUCARIES
control: tags -1 + moreinfo


It would be really great if lintian could check for and warn if the
a package calls update-rc.d in its maintainer scripts with start
or stop arguments.  Likewise for dh_installinit which passes
start and stop arguments to update-rc.d.

Regular expressions which could be used:

  update-rc.d.*[[:space:]]start[[:space:]]
  update-rc.d.*[[:space:]]stop[[:space:]]

  example packages: rsync, nfs-common

This doesn't handle quoting of start or stop in the scripts, but I've
not seen any in practice on my system.

And in debian/rules:

  dh_installinit.*--.*[[:space:]]start[[:space:]]
  dh_installinit.*--.*[[:space:]]start[[:space:]]

  example package: cron rpcbind

I can provide some explanatory text if needed.  Essentially, the
update-rc.d start and stop arguments are obsoleted and replaced by
the defaults argument.  It is no longer possible to specify start
and stop runlevel and sequence numbers; these must be provided by the
LSB header of every init script.  If start and/or stop arguments are
provided, these now act as if defaults had been used instead, and
the extra runlevel and sequence information is discarded, and a
warning will be issued.

I am willing to implement this test but could you please provide a description

I am not aware of any planned deprecation of PolicyKit upstream.

It is ConsoleKit which has been deprecated.

Cheers,
