I: xdtv: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/xdtv.1.gz:240
N:
N:   Manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was intended.
N:   '-' chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as minus
N:   signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus signs (U+002D),
N:   this means for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot cut&paste
N:   options, nor search for them easily.
N:   
N:   '-' must be escaped ('\-') to be interpreted as minus. If you really
N:   intend a hyphen, write it as '\(hy' to emphasise that fact. See
N:   groff(7) and especially groff_char(7) for details, and also the thread
N:   starting with
N:   http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg01481
N:   .html
N:   
N:   If you use some tool that converts your documentation to groff format,
N:   it might be possible that this tool converts dashes of any kind to
N:   groff hyphens, while the safe way of converting dashes is usually to
N:   convert them to '\-'.
N:   
N:   Because this error can occur very often we show only the first 10
N:   occurrences for each man page and give the number of suppressed
N:   occurrences. If you want to see all warnings, run lintian with the
N:   -d/--debug option.

W: xdtv: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/xdtv_alevt-capall
N:
N:   Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should
N:   have a manual page
N:   
N:   Note, that though the `man' program has the capability to check for
N:   several program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs
N:   should have its own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate
N:   manual page is sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as
N:   xman or tkman don't support this.
N:   
N:   Refer to Policy Manual, section 12.1 for details.

N:
N:   When scripts are installed into a directory in the system PATH, the
N:   script name should not include an extension such as .sh or .pl that
N:   denotes the scripting language currently used to implement it. The
N:   implementation language may change; if it does, leaving the name the
N:   same would be confusing and changing it would be disruptive.

N:
N:   The file is tagged SETUID. In some cases this is intentional, but in
N:   other cases this is a bug. If this is intentional, please add a
N:   lintian override to document this fact.
N:
W: xdtv: unquoted-string-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/xdtv needs:2
N:
N:   The menu item includes a tag with an unquoted string like
N:   section=Games instead of section="Games". This is deprecated. Use a
N:   quoted string instead.
N:   
N:   Refer to menu manual 3.2 for details.
N:
W: xdtv: missing-depends-line
N:
N:   The package contains an ELF binary with dynamic dependencies, but does
N:   not have a Depends line in its control file. This usually means that a
N:   call to dpkg-shlibdeps is missing from the package's debian/rules
N:   file.
