Package: splint
Version: 3.1.1-4.1
Severity: important
Justification: 9.9: requires manual environment variable setting
 I'm leaving this at "important" only because I haven't confirmed it

The splint manpage has some problems:

Line 3 is just: " ."

lint(1).: should have spaces after the period

The AUTHOR section is completely broken.

While you're at it, lint(1) isn't included in debian, so you might as
well drop SEE ALSO.

The footer has "A tool for statically checking C programs", but that
kind of thing isn't in any other manpage I can remember.

Also, neither linux.html nor README contain anything that shouldn't be
in ./debian/copyright; IMO it should be removed.

The copyright file doesn't list the copyright holders; (probably, the
same as the upstream authors), and seems to confuse license and
copyright.  Please see:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=290172

The env.sh shouldn't be necessary.  Please make splint work with
useful defaults.  This is a violation of policy 9.9: "A program must
not depend on environment variables to get reasonable defaults."  If
you need help, then please ask, and I'll see what I can do.
