https://lintian.debian.org/tags/acute-accent-in-manual-page:

  This manual page uses the \' groff sequence. Usually, the intent to generate
  an apostrophe, but that sequence actually renders as an acute accent.
  For an apostrophe or a single closing quote, use plain '. For single opening
  quote, i.e. a straight downward line ' like the one used in shell commands,
  use '\(aq'.
