** Description changed:

+ [impact]
+ 
+ 'man systemd-resolve' fails
+ 
+ [test case]
+ 
+ $ man systemd-resolve
+ No manual entry for systemd-resolve
+ 
+ [regression potential]
+ 
+ incorrect man page result for resolvectl or resolvconf, or possibly
+ users using deprecated systemd-resolve longer than they should
+ 
+ [scope]
+ 
+ this is needed in f and later
+ 
+ systemd-resolve was replaced with resolvectl between b and f, so the man
+ page exists in b
+ 
+ [other info]
+ 
+ the systemd-resolve binary is a symlink to the real binary resolvectl, and 
users should use resolvectl for all new uses. A patch to the upstream man page 
was proposed and merged in this PR:
+ https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20064
+ 
+ however that is being discussed and may be reverted in this PR:
+ https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20077
+ 
+ as discussed in the revert PR, it's ok for upstream to elide docs about
+ deprecated tooling; however distros should include deprecation info and
+ thus I believe it's appropriate to include the man page symlink so users
+ trying 'man systemd-resolve' will get the correct 'resolvectl' man page,
+ which includes doc about how they shoudl start using 'resolvectl'
+ instead
+ 
+ [original description]
+ 
  On my Focal machine there is no file /usr/share/man/man1/systemd-resolve.1.gz
  This means that man systemd-resolve fails.
  
  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man1/systemd-
  resolve.1.html exists and has a link on top to 20.04LTS: it points to
  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man1/systemd-resolve.1.html
  , that however 404's, and one ends up being redirected to Bionic's.
