Dear Maintainer(s),

linuxlogo has been flagged by Lintian as shipping a sysv-init script
without a corresponding systemd unit file. The default init system in
Debian is systemd, and so far this worked because a transitional
sysv-init-to-unit generator was shipped by systemd. This is in the
process of being deprecated and will be removed by the time Trixie
ships, so the remaining packages that ship init scripts without
systemd units will stop working.

There are various advantages to using native units, for example the
legacy generator cannot tell the different between a oneshot service
and a long running daemon. Also, sanboxing and security features
become available for services. For more information, consult the
systemd documentation:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html

You can find the Lintian warning here:

https://lintian.debian.org/sources/linuxlogo

In case this is a false positive, please add a Lintian override to
silence it and then close this bug.

Thanks!

Dear Maintainer(s) of affected packages, these bugs have been open for
more than 2 years now. Policy was updated to make units mandatory for
system services. The removal of compat with sysv-init scripts from
systemd has been postponed from trixie to forky, but it is now
approaching. In approximately a month's time, this should hit
unstable, if everything goes well.

Therefore in order to ensure the remaining bugs do not fall through
the cracks I am raising severity again, as there is a very high chance
the affected packages will stop working as intended in about a month's
time in the default setup.

As already mentioned in the original bug report, if your package is
not intended to work as a systemd service or under systemd at all,
please feel free to downgrade or close+wontifx or anything else as you
see fit. The severity raising is not intended to make anyone support
scenarios they don't wish to support, but simply to ensure attention
is given to the issue, even if just to close+wontfix. Also the bugs
were opened based on Lintian reports, and it is possible that there
might be false positives.

Thanks for your work and understanding.

Dear maintainer,

I've prepared an NMU for linuxlogo (versioned as 6.01-0.3) and
uploaded it to DELAYED/3. Please feel free to tell me if I
should cancel it.

Regards,
Nadzeya

Source: linuxlogo
Architecture: source
Version: 6.01-0.3
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: medium
Maintainer: Dariusz Dwornikowski <darek@debian.org>
Changed-By: Nadzeya Hutsko <nadzeya@debian.org>
Closes: 1039251
Changes:
 linuxlogo (6.01-0.3) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Non-maintainer upload.
   * Add a native systemd service, as systemd-sysv-generator was removed
     upstream in systemd v260 (Closes: #1039251)
   * Drop the restart from postinst, as dh_installinit and dh_installsystemd
     each add one and it would otherwise run twice under systemd
   * The init script stays installed for sysvinit users
