Very good. I see I have to upload a discover package without a static
binary. :)

I believe non-overrided lintian error
init.d-script-missing-lsb-section should lead to rejected pacakges.
Two packages affected at the moment (connman and powerstatd), and two
packages overriding it (sysv-rc and file-rc). The latter two provide
scripts in init.d/ which are not really init.d scripts. :)
More init.d script checks will be implemented in future lintian
versions, and I will let you know which one of these I believe should
lead to rejected packages when that happen.
Happy hacking,
