Package: lintian Version: 2.5.38 Severity: wishlist Hi,
lintian reports for man2html: X: man2html source: mentions-deprecated-usr-lib-perl5-directory 010-aux-debian.patch which refers to debian patch that actually removes usage of /usr/lib/perl5 from some upstream file: $ grep -A 4 usr/lib/perl5 010-aux-debian.patch - <LI><TT>-M /usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/lib/perl5/man find</TT> - <LI><TT>/local/gcc/man/man1/gperf.1</TT> + <LI><TT>-M /usr/share/man:/opt/man:/usr/local/share/man find</TT> + <LI><TT>/usr/share/man/man1/gperf.1</TT> </UL> In my opinion lintian either should skip checking patches or should check the lines added in the patch (i.e. those starting with +).
