Package: lintian Version: 2.5.50.4 Severity: normal Hi,
lintian added a check which warns if a SysV init script uses the lsb init-functions but doesn't have a dependency on lsb-base. For a package which ships a native service file where the SysV init script is only used to support booting with sysvinit, this dependency seems unwanted, as "initscripts", which is a dependency of sysvinit-core already ensures that lsb-base is installed. As for init-less (build)-chroots, not having lsb-base installed isn't an issue either, as those are supposed to install a policy-rc.d script which disables the start of any services.
