Using the flex version 2.5.31, straight out of apt, I get the following error:

flex -t -8 verbatim.lex > verbatim.c || ( rm -f verbatim.c && exit 1 )
verbatim.lex:75: warning, rule cannot be matched
cc -c verbatim.c -o verbatim.o
<stdout>:561:25: error: macro "yywrap" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0
make: *** [verbatim] Error 1

Using the flex-old package, which is version 2.5.4a, it works. I guess
this means our flex files are legacy. Could they be updated to work
with the latest flex?
