Package: lintian Version: 1.23.36 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
lintian currently flags the absence of a man-page for a binary. However, some packages have the man-page in the arch-indep package and depend on it and the binary will not be installed without the man-page. So some packages like gedit, pidgin etc. override this warning. It would be useful if we can check if the manpage is present in any of the Depends:-packages of the package being lintianed (just like we check for a symlinked doc directory in case of changelog/copyright checks).
