It seems to me this is a broken > logic somewhere... :-/ Because there is a single manpage; the GUI is in a separate package to allow installation of the commandline program without GUI dependencies, which makes sense. lintian warned that the GUI had no manpage, because there was only a [dangling] symlink. But since the Dependency on the cmd pkg would make it stop dangling, it is okay to dangle in the lintian test.
