In case you file a bug report, you may mention a few other uses that were
not caught by lintian in the NEWS file. For instance:
=> It permits to control the level of checks performed by innd and
nnrpd.
=> Thanks to Thomas Hochstein for the patch, which permits to validate
control articles for hierarchies that are still using old PGP keys.
=> the -m flag now permits to remove headers matching (or not) a given regexp

Hi Russ,

Many thanks for the explanation.
I've just committed the fix.
... and I confess being the one to have introduced most of these
spelling errors (during more than 10 years of commits; time goes fast!)
The wrong construct "permit to" / "allow to" is a Frenchism (either a
substantive or a verb can follow them in French - "ceci permet de
valider des articles de contr?le" / "ceci permet la validation des
articles de contr?le").

It's a Germanism, too: "der es erlaubt, Steuernachrichten zu pr?fen" /
"der die Pr?fung von Steuernachrichten erlaubt".
(Getting a bit off-topic here, sorry.)
