Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.14
Severity: minor

When using -E on a package with convertor in it's binary, lintian reports the
following:
X: lives: spelling-error-in-binary ./usr/lib/lives/lives-exe convertor
converter

However convertor is a valid english word. See
http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=*&Query=convertor.

To reproduce download a package like lives 
(http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/lives/), build and run lintian
with -IE.

As discussed in the bug, the OED concurs that convertor is incorrect and
converter is correct.
