Bug#935607: lintian: classify "Starting $DESC" in init.d scripts

["Chris Lamb" <lamby@debian.org>]

Hi Dmitry,

Please. A wishlist bug with "moreinfo" means (at least for me) that it
is blocking on input from the reporter/requester and, if you believe
you have resolved all the outstanding queries, then it makes sense to
remove it so that it's easier to find things in the BTS that are ready
to be worked on. Does that make sense?

Oh, I think I see. Well, actually I was confused about this bug and
indeed am not sure enough to implement anything yet. The problem is
the use of the conditional checking of $VERBOSE, regardless of the
action?

I think what would be good is bunch of "good" and "bad" examples here
to help me be 100% sure.
