Hey,

thanks for working on the reopen packaging.

Lintian is a tool which detects when your package is violating Debian
policy (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lintian).

In this case, you are including a binary program in your package, but not a
corresponding man page. The fix is to author a man page and include it in
the package.

In the future, you can use lintian -i on your .changes file to get full
explanations for the detected errors. Personally, I’m using this
~/.lintianrc:
