Bug#917094: lintian: systemd-service-file-missing-hardening-features doesn't actually help
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.117
Severity: normal
Is lintian really an advertising medium for various package features?
This seems like something that would be better a subject of a blog post on
planet.d.o than a lintian tag. I know it's just experimental, but I get to
see it 11 times if I go through the long version of my lintian report and it
is a bit overwhelming. As discussed in other bugs, to much nonsense from
lintian makes it less useful overall.
I think this check should either be updated into some more specific checks for
specific conditions where packages can make use of some of these features or
removed. As is, all it tells me is some day maybe I should carve out more
time to learn about systemd.
