Bug#405454: lintian: [new check] init script in level S must only use commands from /sbin:/bin
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.27
Severity: wishlist
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
On systems with a separate /usr filesystem, several boot scripts in level S
break because they use commands from /usr/bin or /usr/sbin. Culprits include
scripts for essential packages that perform system initialization.
It would be desirable for Lintian to check that scripts that delcare level S
in their LSB header _only_ use commands from /bin and /sbin.
Note: as Manoj noted, it would be pointless to add this to Policy, since
maintainers are already expected to verify this. Thus, Lintian would introduce
this check as additional idiot-proofing, to ensure that systems can factually
be built with a separate /usr filesystem.
