Hyphens used as minus signs warning shouldn't be displayed when
strings are contained in pargraph written in draft_mode [1].
To reproduce the bug:
wget
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/slurm-llnl/slurm-llnl_1.3.6-1lenny3_i386.deb
lintian -I slurm-llnl_1.3.6-1lenny3_i386.deb
Attached a patch that fix the problem.
I am using testing with kernel 2.6.26-2-686 and perl 5.10.0-23
