Package: lintian Version: 2.17.0 Severity: wishlist (inspired by #658374) Dear Maintainer, some init.d script print description of service they are starting with following line: log_daemon_msg "Starting X display manager" "xdm" or log_action_begin_msg "Starting $DESC" The pattern is `"Starting '. Some (minority, I think) do the same, but only if $VERBOSE != no, like this: [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC" "$NAME" Please add classification tag, that distinguish these cases. After that, minority behaviour could be marked with minor severity tag, so eventually all init.d scripts behave consistently. Well, there is init-d-script(5) framework, that addresses many consistency issues, but many init.d scripts do not use it. Converting them is much more work then fixing one line in existing scripts. No patch today, sorry.
