Bug#604620: Please warn if LSB init header does not have a Description and Short-Description field
Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.3
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
the LSB defines a Description and Short-Description key in its LSB init
header specification [1].
Please warn if any of those keys is missing, especially the
Description/Short-Description is currently not always present.
Cheers,
Michael
