read-in-maintainer-script
The given maintainer script appears to use read
to
get information from the user. Prompting in maintainer scripts must be done
by communicating through a utility that conforms to the Debian configuration
management specification, version 2 or higher. The debconf
program is a popular choice.
With this tag, there is a potential for false positives. For example,
read
could be used in a block with redirection, in a function
in a pipe, or when standard input is provided in an unusual way.
