Package: lintian Version: 2.2.14 Severity: normal When diverting away an executable and its manpage and replacing them with a different executable and manpage, lintian shouldn't report diversion-for-unknown-file merely because the manual page sections differ.
An example is libmodule-corelist-perl, see #474529 and http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2009/08/msg00084.html Quoting Colin Watson in #474529: > It's almost always wrong to handle manual pages differently from > binaries in maintainer scripts - if you divert foo to foo.real, you > should also divert foo.1.gz to foo.real.1.gz.
