Bug#864999: Please don't emit init.d-script-needs-depends-on-lsb-base if package ships native service file
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.50.4
Severity: normal
Hi,
lintian added a check which warns if a SysV init script uses the lsb
init-functions but doesn't have a dependency on lsb-base.
For a package which ships a native service file where the SysV init
script is only used to support booting with sysvinit, this dependency
seems unwanted, as "initscripts", which is a dependency of sysvinit-core
already ensures that lsb-base is installed.
As for init-less (build)-chroots, not having lsb-base installed isn't an
issue either, as those are supposed to install a policy-rc.d script
which disables the start of any services.
