W init.d-script-provides-virtual-facility
This /etc/init.d script indicates in its LSB headers that
it provides a virtual facility, denoted by the dollar sign in front of
the name.
This is not the correct way to provide a virtual facility. Instead, the
package should include a file in /etc/insserv.conf.d, usually
named after the package, containing:
$virtual_facility_name +init-script-name
to declare that the named init script provides the named virtual facility.
