Package: xstow
Version: 1.0.0-2.1
Severity: normal

It appears that nobody bothered to proofread the xstow.ini.5 manual page.

The most obvious problem is that every occurrence of "traverse-links"
has been written as "traserve-links".

Here is a suggested revision of the introductory section to try and raise
the quality.

       "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
