# `maintainer-script-calls-init-script-directly`

The named maintainer script appear to run an `init` script in `/etc/init.d/*` directly and not via `invoke-rc.d`, but the use of `invoke-rc.d` is required.

Maintainer scripts may call an init script directly only when `invoke-rc.d` is not available.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
