This could be an artifact from how I collected the scripts.  I made a
directory of symlinks into the files
/org/lintian.debian.org/laboratory/binary/*/init.d/*, next I used 'tar
zchf' to make a tarball with all the init.d scripts and moved them to
my laptop for further analysis.  Any symlink would be converted to a
real file in the process, and thus skew the results.

Thank you for checking out the report, anyway.  Good to know that this
issue was not real.

Happy hacking,
