Package: lintian Version: 1.23.14 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if lintian would check whether the man page for a program is in the right section, i.e. for stuff in /usr/bin and /bin it should be in section 1 and for /usr/sbin and /sbin in section 8. I had the following package and lintian didn't say anything:
