Package: lintian Version: 2.116.3 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: cjwat...@debian.org, sthiba...@debian.org
Background: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785353 Samuel Thibault and Colin Watson have suggested resurrecting this lintian tag now that groff 1.23.0 handles the underlying issue a bit differently. (Mainly, the new groff makes it easier for sites to opt-in and -out of this behavior by putting things in man.local and mdoc.local instead of in the macro packages themselves, which are not conffiles.) Debian's groff package is presently _not_ remapping input hyphens to U+002D, to try and attract package maintainer attention and shake these issues out, but it is also carrying a serious-severity ticket to prevent itself from shipping that way in the next stable release. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1041731#57 . Regards, Branden
