Bug#495836: lintian: should not complaining about doc-base section Programming/*
Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.3
Severity: normal
W: yap: doc-base-unknown-section pillow:4 Programming/Prolog
W: yap: doc-base-unknown-section yap:6 Programming/Prolog
Lintian should not complain about doc-base subsections of Programming.
The list of subsections in the doc-base manual is given as *an example*.
Since there is no way of hard-wiring into lintian all possible programming
languages the only solution seems to me to allow arbitrary subsections
of Programming.
