Bug#995850: lintian: more context is not always a good thing
Felix Lechner dixit:

So indeed:
-mksh source: debian-watch-uses-insecure-uri http://www.mirbsd.org/MirOS/dist/mir/mksh/
+mksh source: debian-watch-uses-insecure-uri http://www.mirbsd.org/MirOS/dist/mir/mksh/ (line *)
-mksh: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man1/mksh.1.gz ot to
+mksh: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man1/mksh.1.gz line * ot to
These changes correctly override the issues.
I’ve not yet tested (e.g. by inserting an actual misspelling into the
manpage) whether the asterisk indeed allows anything to come after,
i.e. “line * ot to” isn’t equivalent to “line *”…
bye,
