W: nwm-dbgsym: debug-file-with-no-debug-symbols [usr/lib/debug/.build-id/50/c8d0f5d95dc2b8258a635c49ad435e8e6fbc5c.debug]
N: 
N:   The binary is installed as a detached "debug symbols" ELF file, but it
N:   does not appear to have debug information associated with it.
N:   
N:   A common cause is not passing -g to GCC when compiling.
N:   
N:   Implementation detail: Lintian checks for the ".debug_line" and the
N:   ".debug_str" sections. If either of these are present, the binary is
N:   assumed to contain debug information.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Bug#668437 for details.
N: 
N:   Visibility: warning
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: binaries/debug-symbols/detached
N: 
N:
W: nwm: no-manual-page [usr/bin/nwm]
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
