Package: syslog-ng-core
Version: 4.8.1-6
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

There is a slight error in the LSB header for the syslog-ng initscript with a
trailing hash character in the end delimiter for the block based on the strict
definition at: https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts

Wrong version:

  ### END INIT INFO#

Fixed version:

  ### END INIT INFO

I posted a PR on the packaging repo with a fix:
https://github.com/gcsideal/syslog-ng-debian/pull/14

Thanks!
