Bug#892905: lintian: pkg-doc examples need not reside under /usr/share/doc/pkg-doc/
Package: lintian Version: 2.5.79 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Debian Policy Manual §12.3 recommends installing documentation files (and thus examples) under the main package documentation directory instead of the documentation directory of the separate -doc package. However, current Lintian emits the package-does-not-install-examples tag in such cases. Please consider relaxing the directory name regex. Thanks, Feri.

As in, shall we close this bug? Yep we can close this bug, there's no reason to give `golang-x.x-go` in the dependencies anyway as far as I know now, and I fixed my packages.

Bug#892967: lintian: considers .rtf to be a text file, causing false positives
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.79
Severity: normal
Hi!
RTF is an old file format from Microsoft, that was pushed as a means of
"cross-platform interchange". It has never been really widespread, but,
because its simplicity, most Word-like programs support it. Thus, it's
an odd but not entirely irrational decision to ship some documents this
way.
A package that I'm reviewing includes several RTF files in its documentation
(I've attached one), it triggers a false positive for
license-problem-gfdl-invariants (despite correctly declaring no invariants
nor front or back cover texts).
I guess that RTF files could possibly trigger a number of other false
positives in lintian tests that expect real text. As adding proper support
for RTF is obviously not worth the effort, it would be nice if you regarded
them to be binary (despite, like .ps, being technically ASCII).
Meow!

objective is let the user to focus in physics concepts, leaving aside the
mathematical details (FisicaLab take care of them). This allows the user to
become familiar with the physical concepts without running the risk of getting
lost in mathematical details. And so, when the user gain confidence in applying
physical concepts, will be better prepared to solve the problems by hand (with
pen and paper). FisicaLab is easy to use and very intuitive. However, in order
