Thanks for the suggestion; I agree the current text isn't ideal. There are two parts to this: the package description, and various upstream documentation. I've fixed them separately here: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/man-db/commit/42a2f665edeb3e3118d03fefcbe57b9abd30d759 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/man-db.git/commit/?id=195ace35056e585d7c641b0af897e5c842c07db2 -- Colin Watson [[email protected]]
