Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.2

Hello,

I use a Debian System sid and I made a package named 'eagle-usb-utils'.

When I launch lintian, I have the following errors :
$ lintian eagle-usb-utils_1.9.8+cvs20040806-1_i386.deb
E: eagle-usb-utils: postrm-contains-additional-updaterc.d-calls /etc/init.d/eagle-usb
W: eagle-usb-utils: script-in-etc-init.d-not-registered-via-update-rc.d /etc/init.d/eagle-usb

I think it is an insufficiency of lintian.

- /etc/init.d/eagle-usb is installed by the package.
- The postrm script execute always the "update-rc.d -f eagle-usb remove" command.
- And the postinst script can execute the "update-rc.d eagle-usb start" command, but indirectly. Configuration is long and complicated. So I use a script named "eagleconfig" that is included in package: the postinst script
is a "front end ++".

To mute lintian, I have added the following lines in postinst script.

if false; then
update-rc.d eagle-usb start 99 2 3 4 5 . stop 01 0 1 6 . >/dev/null 2>&1
fi

But I don't believe it's satisfying.

Maybe lintian must look the scripts of the packet that are called, but I think it is too much complicated and/or too long.
Maybe a good solution for futur is tags in comments to help lintian...

Is there a solution currently ?


Thank,
