Package: slrn
Version: 1.0.0~pre18-1.1
Severity: normal

Acoording to score.txt.gz, '[t]he rest of the [keyword] line usually
consists of a regular expression'.  Without further contextual
information, I would normally interpret this to mean a POSIX basic
or extended regular expression.  In fact it is a slang regular
expression, which is different again.  In particular, it does not
support alternation such as '\(foo\|bar\)'.

Ideally this limitation would be fixed, but until then please refer
to the slang documentation, /usr/share/doc/libslang2/slang.txt.gz.

Ben.
