Severity: wishlist
Hello, lintian emits the following:

W: libarchive-dev: manpage-has-errors-from-man
usr/share/man/man3/archive_util.3.gz .Fx: Unknown FreeBSD version `5.3'
(#129)
N:
N: This man page provokes warnings or errors from man.
N:
N: "cannot adjust" or "can't break" are trouble with paragraph
filling,
N: usually related to long lines. Adjustment can be helped by left
N: justifying, breaks can be helped with hyphenation, see
"Manipulating
N: Filling and Adjusting" and "Manipulating Hyphenation" in the
manual.
N:
N: "can't find numbered character" usually means latin1 etc in the
input,
N: and this warning indicates characters will be missing from the
output.
N: You can change to escapes like \[:a] described on the groff_char
man
N: page.
N:
N: Other warnings are often formatting typos, like missing quotes
around
N: a string argument to .IP. These are likely to result in lost or
N: malformed output. See the groff_man (or groff_mdoc if using mdoc)
man
N: page for information on macros.
N:
N: At worst, warning messages can be disabled with the .warn
directive,
N: see "Debugging" in the groff manual.

N:
N: The synopsis (first line in the package "Description:" field, the
N: short description) ends with a full stop "." character. This is not
N: necessary, as the synopsis doesn't need to be a full sentence. It
is

groff 1.19.1 added support for FreeBSD 5.3 to the -mdoc macro set,
fixing this bug. (There seem to be some spurious new "bad character
definition" warnings, though; I'm looking into these.)
