I can't find a consistent rule for what should go into man1 vs. man8. For
instance, apt-get can be used as an unprivileged user to download source

/usr/bin) is a bug, because nobody but root can use it?
Yes, from a cursory look I think that's a minor bug. You should file it,
if the maintainer disagrees he/she
