Package: libsane-common
Version: 1.0.25-2
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
the manpages sane-epson.5, sane-epson2.5 and sane-epsonds.5 contain a spelling
error: "Newer scanners allow to select either 8 bits, [...]" instead of the
correct "Newer scanners allow one to select either 8 bits, [...]" ("allow to" is
a transitive verb and requires an object).
This is reported correctly by lintian, but for whatever reasons rather than
fixing the error the lintian warning got overridden.
while i can possibly understand your unwillingness to fix the typo (e.g. being
to
minor¹) i don't understand why you go to the length of lintian-overriding it.
if there is a good reason, you might want to add it to the lintian-override
file.
