Bug#632159: lintian: [spelling-error-in-description] discontiguous noncontiguous: not a spelling error ?

[Charles Plessy <plessy@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.1
Severity: minor

Dear lintian maintainers,

I question that discontiguous is a spelling error of noncontiguous.

In the case of the last-align package, if I search the web with the
word in its context, "discontiguous suffix array", I find serveral
hits that are not derived from the package's description or Upstream
material.  In contrary, "non-contiguous suffix array" and
"noncontiguous suffix array" return nothing.  “discontiguous” has an
entry in several dictionnaries.  I suggest to remove it from the list
of spelling errors.

Have a nice day,
