--- Begin Message ---Package: bzr-builddeb Version: 0.95 Severity: normal The program ‘bzr-buildpackage’ has a manpage, but it is virtually no use: ===== NAME bzr-buildpackage - build a debian package from a bazaar branch SEE ALSO Please see the output of bzr-buildpackage --help, and the file /usr/share/doc/bzr-builddeb/README.gz ===== This is little more than a placeholder, and serves only to fool ‘lintian’ without actually providing the information for users that should be in a manpage. Policy §12.1 requires “a proper manpage” for every program, and this does not, IMO, qualify, so arguably this is a policy violation; I leave that call to someone else, though. Since this is not yet a useful manpage for the program, it should instead be removed, so that ‘lintian’ will correctly report the lack. One possibility for generating a useful manpage would be to start with the ‘help2man’ tool. -- \ “We are not gonna be great; we are not gonna be amazing; we are | `\ gonna be *amazingly* amazing!” —Zaphod Beeblebrox, _The | _o__) Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy_, Douglas Adams | Ben Finney <[email protected]>
