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: 
N:   Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page and https://wiki.debian.org/DEHS
N:   for details.
N: 
N:   Visibility: warning
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: debian/watch
N:   Renamed from: debian-watch-file-should-mangle-version
N: 
N:
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.
N: 
N:   Visibility: warning
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: documentation/manual
N:   Renamed from: binary-without-manpage
