Hi,

I've just updated the Debian package of xmedcon.  Since some time
we have some spelling patches:

   https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/xmedcon/blob/master/debian/patches/code-spelling.patch
   https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/xmedcon/blob/master/debian/patches/man-spelling.patch

Please consider applying these to your next release.  The policy
checker lintian also issued the following warning which might
interest you:

W: xmedcon source: ancient-libtool ltconfig
N: 
N:    The referenced file seems to be from a libtool version older than
N:    1.5.2-2. This might lead to build errors on some newer architectures not
N:    known to this libtool.
N:    
N:    Please ask your upstream maintainer to re-libtoolize the package or do
N:    it yourself if there is no active upstream. You will also need to run
N:    Autoconf to regenerate the configure script. Usually it is best to do
N:    this during the build by depending on autoconf, libtool, and automake if
N:    it is used, and then running:
N:    
N:     autoreconf -i --force
N:    
N:    before running configure. Depending on how old the package is, this may
N:    require additional modifications to configure.ac or configure.in or
N:    other work. If you do this during the build, determine which files it
N:    will add or update and be sure to remove those files in the clean
N:    target.
N:    
N:    If you have fixed architecture-specific issues with minimal patches,
N:    rather than updating libtool, and verified that it builds correctly,
N:    please override this tag. Lintian will not be able to verify that.
N:    
N:    Severity: normal, Certainty: possible

Kind regards

       Andreas.
