I am writing to inform you that I have identified and rectified several
typographical errors in the manpages. An attached patch contains the
necessary changes I've made.
In addition to the typographical error fixes, I am recommending these
changes in response to the lintian warnings generated during the Debian
packaging process for package updates.
