Package: manpages-dev
Version: 3.74-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

While using Erlang components to build an erlang app release,
I ran into trouble:
The reltool utility breaks due to a broken symlink within /usr/lib/erlang.

Specifically, manpages-dev on my system provides a symlink:
  /usr/share/man/man3/cerfcf.3.gz -> cerf.3.gz
However, /usr/share/man/man3/cerf.3.gz is provided by libcerf-doc and
manpages-dev does not depend on this package.

/usr/lib/erlang itself links into /usr/share/man - which is expected.
It's the broken symlink that is the problem.

The workaround I chose was to install libcerf-doc.
But correct must be, either:
 - manpages-dev does not contain /usr/share/man/man3/cerfcf.3.gz ->
   cerf.3.gz symlink,
 - manpages-dev depend on libcerf-doc.
