Bug#968262: lintian: spare-manual-page misses .so targets
Package: lintian
Version: 2.89.0
Severity: normal
terminology-data installs terminology-helpers.1 for a number of small binaries
from terminology. Each helper binary has a corresponding man file consisting
just of a .so line. But lintian reports:
I: terminology-data: spare-manual-page usr/share/man/man1/terminology-helpers.1.gz
N:
N: Each manual page in /usr/share/man should have a reason to be there.
N: This manual page does not appear to have a valid reason to be shipped.
N:
N: For manual pages in sections 1 and 8, an executable (or a link to one)
N: should exist. This check currently considers all installation packages
N: created by the same sources, as long as they are present.
