Bug#926471: lintian: add warning about missing init.d script



Package: lintian
Version: 2.11.0
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

According to Policy, 9.11:

	Packages may integrate with these replacement init systems by
	providing implementation-specific configuration information
	about how and when to start a service or in what order to run
	certain tasks at boot time. However, any package integrating
	with other init systems must also be backwards-compatible with
	sysvinit by providing a SysV- style init script with the same
	name as and equivalent functionality to any init-specific job,
	as this is the only start-up configuration method guaranteed to
	be supported by all init implementations.

As such, presence in package files /lib/systemd/system/<foo>.service or
/etc/sv/<foo> without corresponding /etc/init.d/<foo> is violation of
"must" in Policy. Please add apporiate error to Lintian.
