Similar to the bug #636704 you reported on manpages-dev about the previous lack
of Replaces, libaio-dev stopped installing manpages that comes from libc.
Source: libaio 0.3.109-2
* Do not install man pages for functions coming from libc, the aio*
and lio_listio* man pages are already shipped by manpages-dev.
* Install all libaio io*.3 man pages. (Closes: #418048)
But within the same upload, io* manpages are now installed by libaio, while
these manpages have been present in manpages-dev for a while (since 2004 for
what I can see in git).
I don't know which version aio-dev versus manpages-linux one is the more
accurate and should be kept, opinion ?
Would you consider revert #418048 and just rely on manpages-dev for that ?
