The patch for this seems trivial:

diff --git a/checks/documentation/manual.pm b/checks/documentation/manual.pm
index cf4f433ac..b30bf6081 100644
--- a/checks/documentation/manual.pm
+++ b/checks/documentation/manual.pm
@@ -144,7 +144,7 @@ sub files {
 
         # number of directory and manpage extension equal?
         if ($section_num != $section) {
-            $self->tag('manpage-in-wrong-directory', $file);
+            $self->tag('odd-place-for-manual-page', $file);
         }
     } else {
         $self->tag('wrong-name-for-manual-page', $file);

But I wonder why the test suite didn't catch this issue. So I'm not
sure if the patch above is sufficient.

Additionally I seem to no more have the required resources on my
laptop to build lintian — it wanted to install nearly 1 TB of
additional build-dependencies.

And just calling

  $ debian/rules runtests onlyrun=tag:odd-place-for-manual-page

still seems to try to build all 1189 test case source packages instead
of just those few needed for the checks related to this tag.
