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.
