Bug#543641: lintian: manpage-has-errors-from-man for manpage with long URL

[Mikhail Gusarov <dottedmag@dottedmag.net>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.14
Severity: normal

I'm getting the following warning from Lintian:

W: publican: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/publican.1p.gz 229: warning [p 2, 0.3i]: can't break line

This line contains long URL, and such errors ought to be
suppressed according to Lintian changelog:

lintian (1.24.3) unstable; urgency=low
  ...
  * checks/manpages{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Suppress warnings about inability to break a line that contains
      a URL.  URLs often can't be usefully broken.  Based on a patch by
      Damyan Ivanov.  (Closes: #491578)

Manpage in question can be obtained from http://dottedmag.net/~mag/publican.1p.gz
