W: psftools source: ancient-libtool [config/ltconfig]
N: 
N:   The referenced file seems to be from a libtool version older than 1.5.2-2.
N:   This might lead to build errors on some newer architectures not known to
N:   this libtool.
N:   
N:   Please ask your upstream maintainer to re-libtoolize the package or do it
N:   yourself if there is no active upstream. You will also need to run
N:   Autoconf to regenerate the configure script. Usually it is best to do this
N:   during the build by depending on autoconf, libtool, and automake if it is
N:   used, and then running:
N:   
N:    autoreconf -i --force
N:   
N:   before running configure. Depending on how old the package is, this may
N:   require additional modifications to configure.ac or configure.in or other
N:   work. If you do this during the build, determine which files it will add
N:   or update and be sure to remove those files in the clean target.
N:   
N:   If you have fixed architecture-specific issues with minimal patches,
N:   rather than updating libtool, and verified that it builds correctly,
N:   please override this tag. Lintian will not be able to verify that.

W: psftools: groff-message troff:<standard input>:108: warning: macro '-',' not defined [usr/share/man/man1/txt2vfont.1.gz:2]
N: 
N:   A manual page provoked warnings or errors from the man program. Here are
N:   some common ones:
N:   
N:   "cannot adjust" or "can't break" are issues with paragraph filling. They
N:   are usually related to long lines. Justifying text on the left hand side
N:   can help with adjustments. Hyphenation can help with breaks.
N:   
N:   For more information, please see "Manipulating Filling and Adjusting" and
N:   "Manipulating Hyphenation" in the Groff manual (see info groff).
N:   
N:   "can't find numbered character" usually means that the input was in a
N:   national legacy encoding. The warning means that some characters were
N:   dropped. Please use escapes such as \[:a] as described on the groff_char
N:   manual page.
N:   
N:   Other common warnings are formatting typos. String arguments to .IP
N:   require quotes. Usually, some text is lost or mangled. See the groff_man
N:   (or groff_mdoc if using mdoc) manual page for details on macros.
N:   
N:   The check for manual pages uses the --warnings option to man to catch
N:   common problems, like a . or a ' at the beginning of a line as literal
N:   text. They are interpreted as Groff commands. Just reformat the paragraph
N:   so the characters are not at the beginning of a line. You can also add a
N:   zero-width space (\&) in front of them.
N:   
N:   Aside from overrides, warnings can be disabled with the .warn directive.
N:   Please see "Debugging" in the Groff manual.
N:   
N:   You can see the warnings yourself by running the command used by Lintian:
N:   
N:       LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 \
N:           man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 -Z <file> >/dev/null
N: 
N:   Please refer to the groff_man(7) manual page and the groff_mdoc(7) manual
N:   page for details.

W: psftools: groff-message troff:<standard input>:78: warning: macro 'These' not defined [usr/share/man/man1/txt2vfont.1.gz:1]
N:
W: psftools: no-manual-page [usr/bin/bbc2psf]
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.

W: psftools source: useless-autoreconf-build-depends (does not need to satisfy autotools-dev:any)
N: 
N:   Since compatibility level 10, debhelper enables the autoreconf sequence by
N:   default.
N:   
N:   It is therefore not necessary to specify build-dependencies on
N:   dh-autoreconf or autotools-dev and they can be removed.
