Debian policy says that every executable in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, etc...
should have a manpage...
This was a bug, and a lintian override is not a good idea, IMHO.

Now I moved k9vamps and k9playcell in /usr/lib/k9copy directory and create a
patch to use this new location...
vamps is used by k9copy, and I have not found a howto about vamps (if, in the
future, someone will ask for vamps... I'll separate vamps from k9copy...)!
Now k9copy is Lintian Free :D
