Bug#697004: [lintian] False positive for gfdl
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10.2
Severity: normal
control: tags -1 + patch
autogen trip the gfdl check because the author use some with to the standard text:
with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover
instead of :
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
Fix it

Subject: [PATCH] Add more variant for good text
autogen is known to use the following good formulation:
"with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts,
and with no Back-Cover Texts"
Allow it and avoid a false positive
