Bug#994689: lintian: maintainer-manual-page false positive if according program is also not from upstream
Package: lintian
Version: 2.106.1
Severity: normal
Lintian emits the following tag for the current wdm package (1.28-25):
P: wdm source: maintainer-manual-page debian/man/update_wdm_wmlist.8
But that man page is for a debian-specific script which is not part of
the upstream tar ball. IMHO lintian should not emit that tag for such
scripts:
~/wdm/wdm → find -name update_wdm_wmlist\*
./debian/man/update_wdm_wmlist.8
./debian/update_wdm_wmlist
