Debian's QA tool “lintian” reported a bad whatis entry for the
xorg.conf(.d) manpages.

It comes with the following pointers:
   For manual pages that document multiple programs, functions, files, or
   other things, the part before "\-" should list each separated by a
   comma and a space. […]

   Refer to the lexgrog(1) manual page, the groff_man(7) manual page, and
   the groff_mdoc(7) manual page for details.

Indeed, the current situation is:
   $ whatis xorg.conf; whatis xorg.conf.d
   xorg.conf (5)        - (unknown subject)
   xorg.conf.d (5)      - (unknown subject)

With this patch:
   xorg.conf (5)        - configuration files for Xorg X server
   xorg.conf.d (5)      - configuration files for Xorg X server
