Package: lintian
Version: 2.17.0
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I noticed a couple of systemd system services
(files that match /lib/systemd/system/*.{service,socket,...})
that use
[Install]
Alias=default.target
default.target is only an alias and should not be used for that.
Instead services should either hook into multi-user.target (for the vast
majority this is the right choice) or graphical.target.
It would be a good idea if lintian would add a warning for this.
For user level services (files matching
/usr/lib/systemd/user/*.{service,socket,...}) the situation is a bit different.
There, using default.target is correct, as default.target is not an
alias. In a user level systemd, there is not distinction between
graphical.target and multi-user.target.
Regards
