In a recent thread in debian-devel, it was suggested that
lintian could call man(1) in such a way that the groff(1),
called by `man', will emit warnings for every undefined macro,
which is useful in catching the bugs like this:
.B foo
. Note: ...
Below is the patch that implements the suggestion. Since `man'
doesn't allow the `-wmac' option to be passed to `groff' by any
other means, I've had to introduce two new files -- `mdoc.local'
and `man.local' (to override the files in groff/site-tmac/), and
the ${LINTIAN_ROOT}/groff-hack directory to hold them.
