lintian (a linter for Debian packages) warns: N: This manual page uses the \' groff sequence. Usually, the intent to N: generate an apostrophe, but that sequence actually renders as a 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 N: shell commands, use \(aq. I'm not following its advice but stick to ' as is done in other places of sindex.1.
