Package: man-db
Version: 2.5.1-3
Severity: minor
File: /usr/lib/man-db/man

A file that has lines like

  ''' this is a comment
  
elicits errors from lintian/man:

  W: mdadm: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man4/md.4.gz 1: warning: 
`''' not defined

I'd say that this is a bug in man, which should not care about the
contents of a comment, which starts right after the first '.
