Please fix or override with comment the following lintian warnings.
The more important ones are about 'privacy-breach-generic'.

N:
W: python-slepc4py-doc: groff-message troff::21104: warning [p 37, 84.8i, div '3tbd70,0', 0.0i]: cannot adjust line [usr/share/man/man3/slepc4py.3.gz:163]
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 >/dev/null
N:
N: Please refer to the groff_man(7) manual page and the groff_mdoc(7) manual
N: page for details.

N:
N: This package creates a potential privacy breach by fetching data from an
N: external website at runtime. Please remove these scripts or external HTML
N: resources.
N:
N: Please replace any scripts, images, or other remote resources with
N: non-remote resources. It is preferable to replace them with text and links
N: but local copies of the remote resources are also acceptable as long as
N: they don't also make calls to remote services. Please ensure that the
N: remote resources are suitable for Debian main before making local copies
N: of them.

N: The Homepage field in this package's control file refers to the Python
