Yes... and no. lintian.d.o checks both i386 and amd64. Checking manually gives: $ dpkg-deb -c /srv/mirrors/debian/pool/main/l/linuxinfo/linuxinfo_2.4.2-3-1_amd64.deb | grep de/man1 drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2016-10-30 09:47 ./usr/share/man/de/man1/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 665 2016-10-30 09:47 ./usr/share/man/de/man1/linuxinfo.1.gz but $ dpkg-deb -c /srv/mirrors/debian/pool/main/l/linuxinfo/linuxinfo_2.4.2-3-1_i386.deb | grep de/man1 drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2016-10-30 09:47 ./usr/share/man/de/man1/ i.e. the directory *is* empty on i386. In fact, it appears to be empty on every architecture except amd64, so I'd assume this is an issue in the linuxinfo package. Regards, Adam
