Bug#822504: Duplicate Word Check - More False Positives

[Paul Hardy <unifoundry@gmail.com>]

thanks

I have a duplicate spelling warning in three Unifont packages:

ttf-unifont
unifont
xfonts-unifont

The error is from the debian/description file common to all three
(same mistaken duplicate as the original bug report, different file):

spelling-error-in-description Plane Plane (duplicate word) Plane

I have text in the debian/ directory and in some other places of the form

"Basic Multilingual Plane (Plane 0)"
"Supplemental Multilingual Plane (Plane 1)"

In my case, there is intervening punctuation, '(', between the words.
Maybe you can allow for that situation in your pattern matching (if
you don't remove the duplicate checking, as you mentioned you might).
You can see these listed at:

https://lintian.debian.org/full/unifoundry@unifoundry.com.html#unifont_1_x3a8.0.01-1

On the other hand, the spelling checker did find two legitimate
spelling errors.  I am fixing those in my next upload.  I mentioned
the deltas in my ChangeLog file, so the spell checker will probably
complain about those misspellings in that file.

Thank you for your work on Lintian!
