Bug#564740: lintian: treats "useable" as a spelling error.



Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.1
Severity: minor

i get several lintian warnings with regards to the spelling of "useable":

  W: qemu-user-static: spelling-error-in-changelog useable usable

according to wordnet, at least, "useable" and "usable" are synonyms of each
other. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/usable also lists "useable" as an
alternate form.

i don't know if lintian is in a better position to be an authorative
source of the english language. :)

live well,
  vagrant
