It is, sorry. I was using the slink version of lintian (my main machine is slink based; My home machine is slink + potato's libc and compilers). Here's what I get with lintian_1.7: E: powstatd: unregistered-script-in-etc-init.d /etc/init.d/powerfail E: powstatd: unregistered-script-in-etc-init.d /etc/init.d/ups-monitor W: powstatd: FSSTND-dir-in-usr usr/doc/ W: powstatd: FSSTND-dir-in-usr usr/man/ I haven't changed the doc and man directories to `share'. I'm waiting for the dust to settle on that issue (or should we be moving man anyway? seems strange if doc doesn't move). > > Do I simply ignore the errors? > > We can add another override for powstatd, or teach Lintian about the > specialness of ups-monitor.
