Bug#460499: lintian: No need to warn about missing short-description LSB header in init.d scripts
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.41
Now that the LSB headers in init.d scripts is more used, it has become
obvious that the lintian warning about missing short-description is
not needed. As far as I know, there is nothing using this header, and
quite a lot of scripts are missing it. It is only nice to have, and
do not deserve a warning on its own.
Here is an example warning from the list of lintian messages on the
web:
W: chrony: init.d-script-missing-lsb-keyword /etc/init.d/chrony
short-description
Because of this, I recommend dropping the warning.
Happy hacking,
