Bug#950238: lintian: Expand init.d-script-should-always-start-service with NO_START



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
