Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.14
Severity: normal
I've noticed lintian has started warning about non-definition of IX.
Officially the test is supposed to ignore these warning, but it would seem
that groff's warning format has changed, since I get the warning:
W: am-utils: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man8/fixmount.8.gz 58:
warning: macro `IX' not defined
The following tiny patch fixes the issue:

This was already fixed in Lintian 2.2.15, which was uploaded on Monday
(using a very similar but not quite identical patch :-)
