Thanks for the bug report about the Bison man page

Oh, right, I guess I was confused because the earlier report starts with
discussion of "bison.yacc.1", a man page that we don't create so I
suppose it is a Debianism of some sort.
Anyway, I installed the attached further patch to fix doc/yacc.1.in,
which is the source for yacc.1 (and I assume for bison.yacc.1).From 39c1239ed5d7f1a0239f8cd18b41e0bb61d81341 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
