This also means localized manpages will always fail the simple date check, unless you use the same .TH line in every localized manpage. Doing so, however, would make it as impossible to know which manpages are outdated based on the .TH line. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
