Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-41
Severity: normal
File: /etc/init.d/skeleton
Hi,
Lintian has just added a new "init.d-script-call-internal-API" check
which is triggered when a file inside the "/lib/init/" directory is
sourced.
Removing the sourcing of "/lib/init/vars.sh" would also require to
remove the check of the VERBOSE variable.
Cheers
Laurent Bigonville

I believe current version of Lintian (v2.5.111) does not have this
check. Closing bug.
