Package: lintian Version: 2.5.6 Severity: normal Tags: patch If "--warnings" is used, only warnings of type "mac" are issued. The full potential of "groff" should be used, using "--warnings=w".
Lines, that remove warnings because of the use of old "pod2man" (or other programme), should be removed when it has been fixed.
