Nervous about level 2 survey

I'm selling my house and I have a ceiling in a room upstairs with a crack across it (not on walls, just through ceiling plaster) and in a room downstairs (again, not walls, just ceiling plaster). They're not huge, more hairline.
Everything else in my survey when I bought has been rectified.
I am getting myself wound up with worry about the ceiling cracks and my buyer's survey. They have never really bothered me when buying when they're just across the ceiling and I was going to get the ceilings replastered but circumstances dictated a move sooner rather than later.
Do I need to worry?

Good point. "Usual shrinkage and expansion" was written in my survey.

Plasterboard ceilings fixed with nails ?Dead straight crack following the joint between two boards - Not uncommon and nothing to get worried about.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
