Hey Jim,
I was looking at packages with a Standards-Version of 2 since Policy
has been version 3.x for years. I noticed that the sgrep package is
quite out of date. lintian shows at least these problems:
E: sgrep: manpage-not-compressed usr/share/man/man1/sgrep.1
E: sgrep: manpage-has-wrong-extension usr/share/man/man1/sgrep.1
E: sgrep: binary-without-manpage sgrep
W: sgrep: postinst-should-not-set-usr-doc-link
E: sgrep: copyright-refers-to-old-directory
E: sgrep: copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl
W: sgrep: binary-has-unneeded-section ./usr/bin/sgrep .comment
W: sgrep: no-section-field
W: sgrep: no-priority-field
Upstream of sgrep seems dead, so I'm not even sure if this package
should still be kept. If it's still useful, can you please update it?
