Package looks fine to me, although I can't figure out why xsltproc warns like
that [0] when -nonet option were passed to it.
[0] xsltproc -''-nonet -''-param
man.charmap.use.subset "0" /usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh/manpages/docbook.xsl

Let me gabble out a bit: I think cppcheck could be used to test some code
generated by tools like bison++ and bisonc++, along with the human-generated
code of course. Furthermore, I believe that some of the advices and
recommendations given by Scott Meyers [1] could be implemented in cppcheck.
Interestingly enough, Meyes first intended to create such a checking tool,
but gave up since some of the `rules' were too hard to formalize, there were
too many important exceptions to these rules which must be taken into account
and it is somehow dangerous to be enforced blindly by a program. So, I'd love
to see him proven wrong, at least partially ;-)
