Bug#761930: lintian: Please ship API documentation also as POD or as man page
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.27
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
it took me a moment to recognize that the Lintian API documentation is
indeed in package -- because I neither found them with man nor with
perldoc.
I expect that I'm not the only one who'd prefer perldoc or man over a
web browser for reading perl-related documentation.
So it would be nice if the POD sources would be shipped in perldoc's
search path and/or man pages generated from POD.
