I'm also not very happy with "dsc" but I neither are with the others.
What do anybody else think?
If there isn't another man page "man <keyword>" will show the package
description. You could get a list of all man pages for a keyword with
"man -f <keyword>".
The best would be if "man <keyword> would bring up a list of man pages
with a choose facility when more than one page exists. Maybe this change
in behavior could be set through an environment variable.
