Issues in manpage

[mati75]

Debian lintian software reports some issues in manpage:

N: 
N:   This manual page uses the \' groff sequence. Usually, the intent is to
N:   generate an apostrophe, but that sequence actually renders as an acute
N:   accent.
N:   
N:   For an apostrophe or a single closing quote, use plain '. For single
N:   opening quote, i.e. a straight downward line ' like the one used in shell
N:   commands, use '\(aq'.
N:   
N:   In case this tag was emitted for the second half of a '\\' sequence, this
N:   is indeed no acute accent, but still wrong: A literal backslash should be
N:   written \e in the groff format, i.e. a '\\' sequence needs to be changed
N:   to '\e' which also won't trigger this tag.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Bug#554897, Bug#507673, and Bug#966803 for details.

N: 
N:   Lintian found a spelling error in a manual page. Lintian has a list of
N:   common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary like
N:   a spelling checker does.
N:   
N:   If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help 
of
N:   gettext (with the help of po4a, for example) or a similar tool, please fix
N:   the error in the translations as well as the English text to avoid making
N:   the translations fuzzy. With gettext, for example, this means you should
N:   also fix the spelling mistake in the corresponding msgids in the *.po
N:   files.
