Downgrade non-virtual-facility-in-initd-script to warning
As pointed in the bug report, the tag says this SHOULD be done, not that
it MUST.
Closes: #1105037
Can you point to a Policy item that is phrased as SHOULD or SHOULD NOT for this?
Martin-Éric
I do not, but then again not all Lintian tags have to be backed by
Policy items. Some are also simply good practices that have been
recommended for a while.
This tag has been around since 2009 (implemented in
d187e5b9bf8a319b757afc4d299835f41f18b5e5) and if you wish for us to
reconsider its existence, we would need other arguments than just not
being based on a Policy item.
Cheers,
