Bug#1053795: lintian: Should warn if CDBS is used
Package: lintian Version: 2.116.3 Severity: wishlist The authors of CDBS stopped developing it in 2021 and it has been orphaned in 2022. [1] With the exclusion of Haskell packages, CDBS is mostly used by orphaned or not actively maintained packages. Lintian should raise a warning if it detects that a package uses CDBS. The last maintainer of CDBS stated that he «welcome[s …] the suggestion for a lintian warning to discourage the continued use of CDBS».

However, section 9.11 reads "This section has been deleted." in the Policy. So at minimum that needs to be fixed :) https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/473 has been merged. `package-supports-alternative-init-but-no-init.d-script` will no longer be emitted starting with the next version of lintian.
