I think the documentation cited draws wrong conclusions/interpretations from

the LSB spec.  One may very well want to have a service stopped by default in

some runlevels even if it is not started in any by default.  The LSB specs are

quite vague too, which has resulted in rpmlint drawing its own conclusions, the

one of which in effect here is that there should be no need not to have a

Default-Stop in all init scripts, thus it always recommends adding one in all

init scripts, even if empty.



$ rpmlint -I missing-lsb-keyword

missing-lsb-keyword:

The package contains an init script that does not contain one of the LSB init

script comment block convention keywords that are recommendable for all init

scripts.  If there is nothing to add to a keyword's value, include the keyword

in the script with an empty value.  Note that as of version 3.2, the LSB

specification does not mandate presence of any keywords.
