Bug#995850: lintian: more context is not always a good thing



Felix Lechner dixit:

Indeed, but it makes overriding them in the case where that’s truly
the correct action (at no fault of lintian) harder.

>Would it help for your override issue to relegate
>the line numbers to the end of the context? Thanks!

Can I use a wildcard then? Something like

mksh: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man1/mksh.1.gz ot to *

I remember wildcards not always working right, but then, I’ve
been first using lintian in tandem with linda so I don’t know
which century that might have been not working well…
