Package: lintian
Version: 1.22.4
Severity: wishlist

Hello Joy,

Several packages use a braindead maintainer. That cause them to
have manpage as follow: (kreatecd,  3dwm-geoclient)


KREATECD(SECTION)                                            KREATECD(SECTION)



NAME
       kreatecd - program to do something

SYNOPSIS
       kreatecd [options] files...
       bar [options] files...

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the kreatecd and bar commands.  This
       manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux  distribution  because
       the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has doc-
       umentation in the GNU Info format; see below.

       kreatecd is a program that...

OPTIONS
       These programs follow the usual GNU  command  line  syntax,  with  long
       options  starting  with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary of options is
       included below.  For a complete description, see the Info files.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
              Show version of program.

SEE ALSO
       bar(1), baz(1).
       The programs are documented fully by The Rise and Fall of a Fooish Bar,
       available via the Info system.

AUTHOR
       This   manual   page   was  written  by  Christophe  Prud'homme  <prud-
       homm@mit.edu>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by oth-
       ers).



                               October 22, 2001              KREATECD(SECTION)

Since adding a check for braindead maintainers would be hard, you could
instead detect if the manpage is such a template.

Cheers,
Bill, depressed.

Changes: 
 lintian (1.23.32) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   The "stability of output" release.
 .
   * checks/binaries:
     + [RA] Sort the package SONAMEs to provide more stable lintian tags.
       Patch from Cyril Brulebois.  (Closes: #428681)
   * checks/files{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Limit the Zope license exception to only .dtml, .pt, and .cpt
       files.  Thanks, Bernd Zeimetz.
     + [RA] Sort the files listed in package-contains-hardlink so that the
       lintian output is stable regardless of the hash order of the
       directory when the tar file was built.
     + [RA] Don't incorrectly skip all other file location checks for hard
       links.
     + [RA] Check for files installed in /usr/lib/sgml.  This transition
       was probably completed long ago, but checking for regression can't
       hurt.  (Closes: #90019)
   * checks/manpages{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Check for dh_make man page templates (by looking for the
       template whatis entry).  Thanks, Bill Allombert.  (Closes: #173583)
   * checks/menus:
     + [RA] Avoid a quadratic search of the files in the package on
       doc-base files that list tons of files individually.  This speeds up
       a lintian check of openoffice.org-dev-doc enormously.
   * checks/po-debconf:
     + [RA] Close the template file handle between files so that the line
       numbers for translated default fields are correct.
   * checks/rules{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Check for ignoring all errors from make clean or make distclean
       and recommend skipping the call if there's no Makefile instead.
       Thanks, Branden Robinson.  (Closes: #325372)
   * checks/scripts{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Add Octave as an interpreter, and allow both versioned and
       unversioned forms.  Thanks, Sebastian Harl.  (Closes: #428403)
     + [RA] Check for deprecated install-sgmlcatalog usage.
   * checks/shared_libs:
     + [RA] Report the correct file for shlib-with-nonpic-code rather than
       the last shlib in the package.  (Closes: #429840, #429528)
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RA] Don't require -v in order to report unused overrides; they're
       already info-level tags, which is enough hiding.
     + [RA] Remove old dead unused override code.
 .
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [RA] Fix a Perl warning when generating the clean maintainer pages.
 .
   * unpack/unpack-binpkg-l1:
     + [RA] Sort the output of tar tfv by filename so that the lintian
       output will be stable regardless of the hash order of the directory
       when the tar file was built.
