Dear Maintainer,

The manual page for this package has some formatting errors,
and has everything in the DESCRIPTION section.

I found that the upstream manual page is correct, so it's a bug specific to
Debian.  Where is the Debian manual page coming from??

See <https://github.com/include-what-you-use/include-what-you-use/blob/master/include-what-you-use.1>.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi,

I digged in Salsa, and it looks like the manual page there
<https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-llvm-team/iwyu/-/blob/master/include-what-you-use.1>
is the same as the upstream one, but the ones I got installed with
`apt-get install iwyu` are very different
(</usr/share/man/man1/iwyu.1.gz>,
</usr/share/man/man1/include-what-you-use.1.gz>).  Is there anything you
do when you build the package that changes them so much?

Thanks,

Alex

Hello,

`debian/rules` uses `help2man` to generate the (broken) version:

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-llvm-team/iwyu/-/blob/master/debian/rules?ref_type=heads#L30-31

See https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-llvm-team/iwyu/-/merge_requests/3 for a
fixed version.
