In a former time it was the job of manpages/manpages-dev to document
the interface to the kernel and libc, i.e. system calls etc.
How is this bug still open?
Should we bring in the Technical Committee? They could make the decision
about where the man page belongs. http://www.debian.org/devel/tech-ctte
A request to the ctte should include the list of all the affected files.

This will install the packages that are not broken correctly and keep
your system going.

Hello !
There is actually quite a bit of manpages that are found in version 2.25-2
and as well in modutils.
The attached patch should take care of them.

Wrong. The use of Replaces is a mandatory *part* of the fix. You don't
move a file from one package to another without using Replaces.
You're assuming that those manpages are to be moved from modutils to
manpages-dev. But they're not.
joey's fix was to disable those manpages in manpages-dev

Just as a comment, waiting for modutils to remove the create_module

It seems rather like manpages-dev /should/ be the one to own these, and
a bug should be filed on modutils to get these manpages out of there.
Still, this bug should remain open and serious until manpages-dev is at
least installable.
