Package: lintian
Version: 2.104.0
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

It might be useful that lintian checked that each *.postinst contains
the #DEBHELPER# string.

For example, I noticed a missing #DEBHELPER# when creating a package
that installed a systemd service but it did not start as expected.

Thank you very much,

Yep, that's because that #DEBHELPER# token is only present in the
source package and gets replaced with some code during the package
build. So we can't check the binary (.deb) packages for it as it is
never present there.

Thanks nevertheless. Closing the bug report herewith.

Thanks for that! Just wanted to mention the same. :-)
