Hi!
When checking my libdebug packages, I get:
------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------
abz@oasis:~/work/libdebug$ lintian -i libdebug_0.4.1_i386.changes
W: libdebug0-dev: manpage-section-mismatch
usr/share/man/man3/hexdump.3debug.gz:30 3debug != 3
N:
N: A man page usually should contain a .TH header, specifying the
N: section. The section in this manpage doesn't match with the section in
N: the filename. Please consult groff_man(7) for more information about
N: .TH syntax (amongst others).

I am using the debug extension for man pages in all my libraries in order to
avoid polluting the namespace. This convention is also used by other people
(openssl, ncurses, etc)
Maybe you should not complain about this when the man pages are in section 3?
