I know there are some warnings, see this message and the replies:
http://www.stanchina.net/~flavio/debian/fglrx-archive/msg00477.html

Fixes are of course welcome, but I tend to disregard lintian warnings as
nitpicking until someone demonstrates that there actually is a problem. See
for example the last item in the short FAQ,
http://www.stanchina.net/~flavio/debian/fglrx-faq.html

I don't remember these, maybe they've been added to lintian/linda after I
checked myself. Which directories are causing this?

I would love to have man pages, especially if we finally want to try to get
this stuff into Debian proper.

OK, that's fine. I know next to nothing about the relevant standards, so
I'll take your word for it. Just one note, isn't /usr/share/applications
the correct directory?
