Package: dh-make
Version: 0.60
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
according to "man man-pages":
AUTHORS lists authors of the documentation or program. Use of an AUTHORS
section is strongly discouraged. Generally, it is better not to clutter every
page with a
list of (over time potentially numerous) authors; if
you write or significantly amend a page, add a copyright notice as a comment in
the source file. If you
are the author of a device driver and want to include an
address for reporting bugs, place this under the BUGS section.
I suggest to remove the AUTHORS section from the example manpage, because it
will encourage first-time packagers (like me ;-) to keep this section in their
manpage.
Kind regards,
Ralf
