Hi,

the systemd-service-file-missing-documentation-key is triggered when
there is whitespace between key and "=", this entry is OK:

    Documentation= man:...

This line triggers tag:

    Documentation = man:...

The systemd-analyze verify is happy with both...

regards

Thanks for this. I have opened https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/808 for fixing
the regex. Both systemd- tags go away with this.
