Bug#629161: Please provide groff backport for lintian.d.o

Hi Colin,

After consulting with Guillem, I wonder if you could provide a stable
backport of groff? As I am sure you are aware, that is what we run on
lintian.d.o. You previously offered as much here:

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=629161#52

Guillem's primary concern seems to revolve around #867123 (update OS
macros). He has been using a self-help of sorts:

    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libbsd/libbsd/commit/99320b9168ffb0112def1a712e8d59441d1b46d9

We would only require the groff backport after #867123 is fixed. That
bug now blocks the one in front of us.

Please assign this bug back to Lintian if you feel an error was made.

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
