When I run lintian -iI ../build-area/libgtk2-imageview-perl_0.04-1_i386.changes after building the package I still get one warning: W: libgtk2-imageview-perl: manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man3/Gtk2::ImageView::Tool.3pm.gz N: N: Each manual page should start with a `NAME' section, which lists the N: name and a brief description of the page seperated by '\-'. These N: sections are parsed by `mandb' and stored in a database for the use of N: `apropos' and `whatis', so they must be in a certain format. This N: manual page apparently uses the wrong format and cannot be parsed by N: `mandb'. N: N: For information on how `NAME' sections should be written see N: lexgrog(1). See also groff_man(7) and groff_mdoc(7) for general N: information on writing manual pages. (I guess the problem is in IImageTool.xs at the "for object Gtk2::ImageView::Tool" line at the top.) Another note: if I'm not mistaken most members of the pkg-perl group prefer to have changes against the upstream source splitted out into separate patches in debian/patches (usually using quilt [0]).
