In roff a bare "-" is a hyphen, which renders as an en dash in some
output formats and breaks both copy-and-paste of option names and
apropos(1) searches for them. Option names and the command name want
"\-"; the dash in the NAME line is a real dash, so it becomes "\(em".
(There's also a little bit of debian-specific path stuff near the bottom of
this patch which I didn't have he energy to tease apart; sorry.)
