Package: lintian Version: 1.24.2.1 Severity: normal If a man page contains
'\" p on the first line, it tells man that it needs preprocessing with pic(1). pic(1) requires the use of .PS and .PE (PIC start and PIC end) macros, between which the pic drawing is specified. wanna-build.1 (wanna-build, source sbuild) is flagged by lintian: % lintian -i sbuild_0.57.4-1_i386.changes W: wanna-build: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/wanna-build.1.gz 55: warning: `PS' not defined However, man(1) when invoked by a user does not issue any warnings, because the manual page is correct. Please could you teach lintian to allow .PS/.PE macros if pic is enabled. The same also applies to tbl (.TS etc.), eqn and other packages also supported by man. If man is being invoked to do the check, perhaps some option is missing?
