[debhelper-devel] Bug#822669: debhelper: dh_installinit add autoscript for non-existent init script when service file exists

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20160403
Severity: normal
User: devel at kali.org
Usertags: origin-kali

If a package contains a debian/foo.service file that gets installed by
dh_installinit (but no debian/foo.init) then the generated maintainer
scripts will still contain the update-rc.d invocations that are strictly
useless since /etc/init.d/foo does not exist.

Furthermore the presence of those snippets lead to lintian
warnings/errors:
W: hostapd-wpe: init.d-script-not-marked-as-conffile etc/init.d/hostapd-wpe
E: hostapd-wpe: init.d-script-not-included-in-package etc/init.d/hostapd-wpe

Cheers,
