Bug#517629: bogus "can't break line" warnings when run in narrow terminal



Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.6
Severity: normal

joey@gnu:~/src/debhelper>echo $COLUMNS 
65
joey@gnu:~/src/debhelper>lintian ../debhelper_7.0.52_all.deb
W: debhelper: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/dh.1.gz 200: warning [p 2, 3.2i, div `an-div', 0.0i]: can't break line
joey@gnu:~/src/debhelper>echo $COLUMNS
80
joey@gnu:~/src/debhelper>lintian ../debhelper_7.0.52_all.deb
# nothing

It somehow seems wrong for lintian warnings to only appear if it's ran
in a narrow enough terminal.
