+1</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;Introduction</h2>
+
+<div class="p"><!----></div>
+In this deliverable we present the information presented in the LSB-compliance guide for Debian maintainers together with a script used to check LSB-compliance. The latter is presented as a patch for Lintian such that the effect of this script can be larger.

+
+<div class="p"><!----></div>
+Lintian contains a series of scripts in perl to check different issues of a package. They are in the directory ...lintian/checks. Each check script contains as well a file with extension .desc that contains the description of each error, warning or information related to the script of the same name. In the case of the init-scripts, they are checked currently with the script called <i>init.d</i> with its correpondent description file <i>init.d.desc</i>.
+
+<div class="p"><!----></div>
+The script and description file with the proposed patch may be found in

+4</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;Conclusions and Future Work</h2>
+
+<div class="p"><!----></div>
+With the aid of a patch for lintian together with a guide on LSB-compliance, we could expect that in the future it to be easier for maintainers to add adequate run-time dependencies to their scripts making it possible to have a correct boot order for all different system configurations and allowing to have parallel execution at boot time.
+
+<div class="p"><!----></div>
+Future work should focus on making this into the package of lintian by working together with its maintainers and to extend the work to other packages like linda.
