lintian-explain-tags can provide you with extensive information
about issues lintian may report.  In your particular case, it
even should answer your question:

        $ lintian-explain-tags groff-message
        […]
        N:   You can see the warnings yourself by running the command used by 
Lintian:
        N:   
        N:       LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 \
        N:           man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 -Z <file> >/dev/null
        […]

Hope this helps,  :)
