Bug#1026874: awscli installs a 5 million line manpage
Package: awscli
Version: 2.9.9-1
Severity: normal
Just making sure this is recorded:
The aws(1) man page installed by awscli 2.9.9-1 is not useful. Ideally it
should be split up in to per service pages, e.g. aws-vpc(1), aws-ec2(2), etc.
for all services (some services already have their own pages, but most don't.)
But until then, it should be replaced by something more along the lines of the
`aws help` output.
