I was under the impression packages with Lintian errors are a big no-no. Overriding link-to-undocumented-manpage was acceptable: W: tux-aqfh: link-to-undocumented-manpage usr/share/man/man6/tux_aqfh.6.gz N: N: Symbolic links to the undocumented(7) manual page may be provided only N: when a bug has been filed that no manual page is available. If you N: like, you may report the bug yourself, and add an override for this N: warning in your package. N: [...] If we override binary-without-manpage for reported bugs, it'll be easy to spot unreported ones. > If there's no man page, the error should stay there without being > overridden so that it appears on summaries like > http://qa.debian.org/man-pages.html. How did it work in the undocumented(7) days then? Thanks, Matej
