Package: lintian Version: 2.52.0~bpo10+1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
In the context of https://trends.debian.net/, it would be interesting to track the status of packages shipping services, to know whether maintainers are dropping init.d scripts. This would ideally require: - a tag to indicate whether a package ships a init.d script - a tag to indicate whether a package ships a systemd service (excluding .service files for matching timer or path units, as already done elsewhere in the code). - a tag to indicate whether there are init.d scripts without corresponding systemd services (omitted-systemd-service-for-init.d-script, missing-systemd-service-for-init.d-script, and missing-systemd-service-for-init.d-rcS-script would do) - similarly, tags to indicate missing init.d scripts for systemd services That way, I could put together a graph with packages shipping services, classifying them into: - packages with missing init.d scripts and missing systemd services (you never know) - packages with missing init.d scripts - packages with missing service units - packages with matching init.d scripts and service units I might work on that when I have time, but I'm unlikely to find time.
