Package: lintian Version: 2.15.0 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? I'm working on the rauc package at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rauc/ * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I build the package, then lintian runs. * What was the outcome of this action? Lintian complains about systemd-service-file-missing-install-key, and it's true, there's no install key in the rauc.service file provided by upstream. * What outcome did you expect instead? The warning should not fire in this case. Upstream ships a systemd service file, and a d-bus service file. The rauc daemon is d-bus activated (meaning, it's automatically started by the client when needed). This use-case is described in the systemd service documentation, https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html#id-1.10.6, (see Example 5. DBus services). May I quote: For bus-activatable services, do not include a "[Install]" section in the systemd service file ... So, well, I don't know if Lintian is aware of dbus service files that get installed at `/usr/share/dbus-1/` (I'm not familiar with lintian at all). If so, then Lintian could look for a key `SystemdService=` in the d-bus service file, along with `BusName=` in the systemd service file. If both are found, Lintian shouldn't complain then about a missing [Install] key. We could even go as far as asking Lintian to complain about the *existence* of [Install] in this case, but maybe I'm getting carried away...
