That command shouldn't be included in the tag information, as it's not
what lintian is running. As the current text indicates, lintian is using
"man --warnings"; more specifically, having cleansed the environment,
it's running:
LANG=C man --warnings -l foo.1.gz > /dev/null
(see /usr/share/lintian/checks/manpages; much easier than a 6MB
strace :-)
