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,
