Lintian tag: killall-is-dangerous
Type: warning
Description (from lintian-explain-tags)
The maintainer script seems to call killall. Since the program terminates
processes by name, it may accidentally affect unrelated processes.
Most uses of killall should use invoke-rc.d instead.
Visibility: warning
Show-Always: no
Check: maintainer-scripts/killall
