Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.9
Severity: minor
I'm wondering about:
/usr/share/lintian/lib/Spelling.pm: inofficial unofficial
Querying some well known online dictionaries:
| inofficial; nonofficial; unofficial

http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/dings.cgi?lang=en&service=deen&opterrors=0&optpro=0&query=inofficial&iservice=&comment=
| inofficial
| nonofficial
| nonofficially
| unofficial
| unofficially
| off-the-record
| off the record
-- http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=wlqAU.&search=inoffiziell
it shows that "inofficial" is a well known word.
What's the reason for the inofficial vs. unofficial check inside
lintian?
regards,

Closing per previous discussion. Inofficial occurs in some dictionaries
as an obsolete or variant form, but unofficial is the idiomatic word.
