Assigning the bug to Jos, and leaving a few pointers behind...
1) Grab the source to Lintian in Lucid (apt-get source lintian, or dget the
source .dsc file)
2) Look at checks/init.d*; Basically, these are getting applied to all
scripts installed in /etc/init.d. We're dropping a symlink to
/lib/init/upstart-job in /etc/init.d When examining a file, if it's really a
symlink to /lib/init/upstart-job, skip over it.
The two tags you're trying to silence are:
* init.d-script-missing-lsb-section
* script-in-etc-init.d-not-registered-via-update-rc.d
when the file under scrutiny is a symlink to /lib/init/upstart-job.
Looks like check/init.d, lines 184 and 254.
Something like this might help:
# Skip init scripts which are symlinks to /lib/init/upstart-job
if ($filename =~ m,etc/init\.d/, && -l $filename) {
my $link = readlink($filename);
next if ($link =~ m,lib/init/upstart-job$,);
}
Test linitan against a deb file exhibiting the problem.
wget
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/eucalyptus-cc_1.6.1~bzr1085-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb
lintian eucalyptus-cc*.deb
Make your code changes, increment the change log mentioning this bug
number (using dch -i), grab the build dependencies (sudo apt-get build-
dep lintian), and test your build (debuild). Install (dpkg -i ../*deb).
And rerun your lintian test.
When you've got something working, build a source package (debuild -S),
and generate a patch (debdiff), and attach to this bug for review.
Thanks!
