Thank you. I used my @kaction account on salsa, and now it worked.
So now sources of 2.88dsf-60 are on `master' branch on `debian/sysvinit'
repository.

Seems like a good idea. So, I made two commits on top of
debian/2.88dsf-60, that bring back Uploaders and make Vcs-* fields point
to common debian/sysvinit repository.
Did not upload yet, but Ian, if you want -- go ahead.

You are right. I am sorry about being so reckless to upload.
I made a commits, that revert changes to LSB headers and add Lintian
overrides instead. They are on `wip/revert-lsb-headers', to allow
clean metainfo-only upload from `master' branch.

Moved this bug upper in my todo list :)
