*** /home/rfw/bug-gdm3-manpage.txt
On bullseye, running "man 8 gdm3" provides the man page of gdm-screenshot,
rather than the desired gdm3 man page. It's easy to demonstrate:
root@edk805:/usr/share/man# man 8 gdm3|col -b|head -10
GDM-SCREENSHOT.1(8) Debian
GNU/Linux GDM-SCREENSHOT.1(8)
NAME
gdm-screenshot - take a picture of the screen
SYNOPSIS
gdm-screenshot [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION
gdm-screenshot is a utility for taking screenshots of the entire screen
and saving them as PNG image files.
It is also easy to see the problem is in the deb package, rather than
the result of some sort of accident on my own system. To do this, I
downloaded the deb file and extracted the content:
apt-get download gdm3
dpkg-deb -X gdm3_3.38.2.1-1_amd64.deb gdm3
cd gdm3/usr/share/man
for x in man1/gdm-screenshot.1.gz man8/gdm3.8.gz ; do
> gunzip < $x > /tmp/`basename $x .gz`
> done
diff -C2 /tmp/gdm-screenshot.1 /tmp/gdm3.8
*** /tmp/gdm-screenshot.1 2022-06-12 19:32:55.255392830 -0600

And in fact we can see this same problem in the online version of the
gdm3.8 man page, that is
https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/gdm3/gdm3.8.en.html
The same is seen in the testing and experimental versions,
https://manpages.debian.org/testing/gdm3/gdm3.8.en.html and
https://manpages.debian.org/experimental/gdm3/gdm3.8.en.html
respectively.
If I look back to the online version for stretch, I do see the
correct content for the man page at:
https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/gdm3/gdm3.8.en.html.
