Bug#673611: lintian: False warning about writeable
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.7
Severity: minor
Hello,
lintian warns about using writeable instead of writable:
exim4-base: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man8/exim.8.gz writeable writable
Please drop this check, writeable seems to be a correct way of
spelling this (at least in the UK).

Imho lintian should only warn about spelling if it there is absolutely
no doubt the used spelling is wrong.
thanks, cu andreas
