TL2012: lintian warnings
Hi,
I checked some lintian warnings for TL2012/texlive-binaries.
Listed up results in the mail, please advice and/or correct me.
manpage-section-mismatch usr/share/man/man1/detex.1.gz:1 1 != 1L
- texk/datex/datex.man has section "1L" in head of the file.
However Makefile make name to "detex.1". Which do we should?
1. Ignore with override.
2. Change section in file, need patch for detex.1
3. Rename file to detex.1l, need patch for Makefile.am.

manpage-has-errors-from-pod2man usr/share/man/man1/dvilj.1.gz:689
- texk/dviljk/dviljk.pod missis last close list tag(==back).
Therefore dvilj.man which is generated by pod2man remain error message.
1. Modify pod file, but to recreate man file, we needs add
--enable-maitainer-mode to ./configure.
2. Modify man file, this POD ERROR has no mean for man format.

manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/etex.1.gz 98: warning:
macro `rb' not defined
- Its warning for debian/man-pages/etex.1. However there is
more new man file in texk/web2c/man/etex.man, and it has
no warning. Please drop debian's man file.

manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man1/mendex.1.gz
manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/mendex.1.gz 10: warning
[p 1, 2.2i]: can't break line
- texk/mendexk/mendex.1 is EUC-JP(not UTF-8).
It seems that man and lexgrog cannot parse "mendexk \- EUCJPedTEXT".
Do you know current lexgrog can parse EUC-JP correctly?
Or are there any other EUC-JPed man files?

manpage-section-mismatch usr/share/man/man1/mendex.1.gz:3 1 != L
- mendex.1's section set to "L"(LaTeX?).
As same detex.1, we has three options.
1. Ignore with override.
2. Change section in file, need patch for mendex.1
3. Rename file to mendex.L(I haven't see), need patch for Makefile.am.

---
manpage-section-mismatch usr/share/man/man1/texlinks.1.gz:1 1 != 8
- It seems that texlinks is command for sysadmins.
1. If so, we should patch to texk/tetex/Makefile.am to change section.
2. If not so, we should patch to texk/tetex/texlinks.man to change section.

macro as first argument cancels effect of .Li (#61)

And debian/man-pages/synctex.5 does not need anymore (same as upstream).
