Package: lintian
Version: 2.96.0
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

SNMP MIB files are generally /usr/share/snmp/mibs/*.txt, though
these text files aren't documentation.  Please make them exempt
from package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc.
See libsnmp-base for example.

Thanks,
Feri.
