Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.120
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
I noticed that a link to the Debian Policy Manual from the Lintian tag
page
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/description-too-long.html
points to
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#the-single-line-synopsis
which references an invalid anchor. The correct URL should now be
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#the-single-line-synopsis
I then noticed that all Debian Policy URLs in manual-references use URLs
of the first form, all of which are now invalid.
Maybe these URLs used to be valid, if the Debian Policy Manual used to
be presented as a single HTML page? In its current form all of these
cross references are broken and not helpful to a new user.
