Package: fail2ban
Version: 0.6.1-10
Severity: minor

I got this:

lapse:~# /etc/init.d/fail2ban start                                      #[219]
Starting authentication failure monitor: fail2ban2006-08-10 18:26:46,392 
WARNING: No 'locale' defined in 'DEFAULT'. Using default one: ''''

So I tried to figure out what a 'locale' is in the fail2ban.conf(5)
manpage, which says "Please look at the file itself"

Ok...

# grep -c locale /etc/fail2ban.conf
0

This is because I chose to keep the file instead of upgrading it.

# grep -c /usr/share/doc/fail2ban/*
0
# zgrep -c /usr/share/doc/fail2ban/*
2

Aha. Well, I should not have to go to the changelog to find out how
to set 'locale'. In fact, it does not even tell me.

Please provide a proper fail2ban.conf manpage, and even if it
duplicates the configuration file comments.
