Package: po4a
Version: 0.45-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've just noticed that for some reason po4a modifies the preprocessor
line of man-page, namely
  '\" t
is changed to
  .\" t

This one character change seems to make a difference for the man program, 
especially for the --warnings option used by lintian. For example see
following comparison of original ascii.7 from manpages package to its Polish
translation from manpages-pl package:

  [16]/usr/share/man> cd /usr/share/man
  [17]/usr/share/man> zdiff man7/ascii.7.gz pl/man7/ascii.7.gz |head -n 4
  1c1
  < '\" t
  ---
  > .\" t
 [18]/usr/share/man> MANWIDTH=80 MANROFFSEQ='' man --warnings -Z -Tutf8 
man7/ascii.7.gz > /dev/null
 [19]/usr/share/man> MANWIDTH=80 MANROFFSEQ='' man --warnings -Z -Tutf8 
pl/man7/ascii.7.gz > /dev/null
 <standard input>:102: warning [p 1, 8.7i]: cannot adjust line
 <standard input>:103: warning [p 1, 8.8i]: cannot adjust line

After manually changing the first line of pl/man7/ascii.7.gz to '\" t  no
warnings are printed:
 [24]/usr/share/man> zcat pl/man7/ascii.7.gz | head -n 1
 '\" t
 [25]/usr/share/man> MANWIDTH=80 MANROFFSEQ='' man --warnings -Z -Tutf8 
pl/man7/ascii.7.gz > /dev/null


Regards,
robert
