+Tag: maintainer-script-hides-init-failure
+Severity: warning
+Check: scripts
+Renamed-From: maintainer-script-should-not-hide-init-failure
+Explanation: This script calls invoke-rc.d to run an init script but then, if the
+ init script fails, exits successfully (using || exit 0). If the init
+ script fails, the maintainer script should probably fail.
+ .
+ The most likely cause of this problem is that the package was built with
+ a debhelper version suffering from Bug#337664 that inserted incorrect
+ invoke-rc.d code in the generated maintainer script. The package needs to
+ be reuploaded (could be bin-NMUd, no source changes needed).
