Various typo fixes

[Bas Couwenberg]

The lintian QA tool reported various typos during the Debian package build process for 7.0.0RC1.

The attached patches fix the various issues, and are included in the Debian package being prepared by the Debian GIS team.

Thanks for the patches. All applied in r64320 (trunk) and r64321 (relbranch70). Closing.

It does not seem to me that there is any way to run these checks on the source code. Is there some other easy way to run it?

The easier way to use lintian is to include it in the Debian package build process. To support lintian-overrides you need to add dh_lintian calls to the rules file. The following change was added to the official Debian package maintained by the Debian GIS team for example:

I suggest you include dh_lintian in the upstream GRASS packaging on Launchpad. This patch should work on the current grass70_release_debian bzr branch (revision 45):

After the package build process is completed you run lintian on the .changes file produced by the build. You can do this by default by including a pbuilder hook for lintian as documented in the Debian GIS Policy:
