N:
N: The version of this package contains dfsg, ds, or debian, which normally
N: indicates that the upstream source has been repackaged to comply with the
N: Debian Free Software Guidelines (or similar reason), but there is no
N: version mangling in the debian/watch file. Since the dfsg string is not
N: part of the upstream version, the debian/watch file should use the
N: dversionmangle option to remove the dfsg before version number comparison.

N: Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page and https://wiki.debian.org/DEHS
N: for details.

W: nvbandwidth: no-manual-page [usr/bin/nvbandwidth]
N:
N: Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have
N: a manual page
N:
N: Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N: program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its
N: own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N: sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't
N: support this.
N:
N: If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N: able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the
N: exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page.
N:
N: If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package
N: depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are
N: available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual
N: pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a
N: Lintian override.
N:
N: Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual
N: for details.
