Can't open man1/optin.so: No such file or directory

[Mathieu Malaterre <mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

 I am working on the dicom3tools package. The dicom3tools is writing
the man page using groff '.so' macro (source) (*). Which leads to the
following lintian warning :

W: dicom3tools: manpage-has-errors-from-man
usr/share/man/man1/andump.1.gz  can't open man1/optin.so: No such file
or directory
...
W: dicom3tools: manpage-has-errors-from-man
usr/share/man/man1/rawtodc.1.gz  can't open man1/genin.so: No such
file or directory


 Because the naming convention of those common parameter is bla.*so*,
lintian is not happy to install something called optin.*so*.1 in the
man1 path. Has anyone dealt with this before ? Can I simply rename
optin.so file to optin, and then install optin.1, or am I missing
something with groff ?
