Let's see:
- description-synopsis-starts-with-article: This should just be

- windows-devel-file-in-package: I would not to remove the files, this
warning can also be overridden.
- manpage-has-errors-from-man: If you have solutions for those, please
provide a patch

- debug-file-with-no-debug-symbols: This happens because the upstream
build system strips nmap and friends so there are no debug symbols
left to copy to the -dbgsym package.
