man pages error

[Daniel U. Thibault]

The man pages for autoconf state:

#
Otherwise, you may be able to access the Autoconf manual online. 
/usr/share/doc/autoconf/autoconf.html for more information.

#

   There is no /usr/share/doc/autoconf/autoconf.html file.  Instead, 
one must install the autoconf-doc package (separately) and then look up 
/usr/share/doc/autoconf-doc/autoconf.html.

This is a bug in the man page in the Debian version of the package.  The
last sentence of the SEE ALSO section seems to be missing some words.  The
intent was to point to the autoconf-doc package for that file.

Could you report this against autoconf via reportbug?
