Problem with the lintian / man-db backport
The backport of lintian 1.24.4 currently available from backports.org
wants to run man with the -wmac warning option. man-db has also been
backported and supports this, but it looks like the option was only added
to nroff in groff 1.18.1.1-15. There appears to be no current backport
available of groff, and the version in etch is 1.18.1.1-12.
Backporting groff and adjusting the dependency in the lintian backport
accordingly is probably the easiest fix, although one could also work
around this problem by changing how lintian calls man-db. (I
unfortunately have very little time to look at fixing this myself at the
moment.)
