I'd be willing to take a bug report about the way that man-db does this by default; it's a change I adopted from Andries Brouwer's man way back in 2001, and I'm certainly prepared to entertain the idea that a change I made nearly half my life ago might have been wrong. (However, I would like it as a bug report on e.g. https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=man-db rather than buried in a mailing list thread, because my ability to keep track of random threads isn't quite what it used to be.) -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
