Bug#850168: lintian should have checks for manual pages to see if they have an EXAMPlES section

Control: severity -1 wishlist I agree! I often find myself frustrated by more obscure bits of software where I would love to see some EXAMPLES sections to help me get started. Maybe this could be a "Informative" or "Pedantic" level instead of "Warning"? It certainly shouldn't be at the "Error"

Package: lintian Version: 2.5.49 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, lintian has checks for binary-without-manpage tag and page https://lintian.debian.org/tags/binary-without-manpage.html . While this is good, it would be nice if we could also increase the usefulness of the manpages that we have.
