-        If you want to check the full Debian distribution with Lintian, you
-        have to set up the <constant>LINTIAN_DIST</constant> variable in the configuration
-        file (or as environment variable). Then, you have to run <command>lintian
-          <option>-S</option></command> to set up the laboratory and
-        to create lists of all binary and source packages in the
-        distribution. (Note, that this might take some time&hellip;)

-      <para>After that, you can either check single packages simply be running

-  $ lintian foo

-  $ lintian --all

-</para>
-      <para>
-        Since Lintian needs an up-to-date list of packages in the
-        distribution, you'll have to rerun
-        the <command>lintian <option>-S</option></command> command
-        whenever the distribution directory has been changed. (But
-        there is no need to remove the laboratory in this situation:
-        Lintian is smart enough to only re-unpack packages that have
-        been changed.)
