Bug#238020: Dangling symlink x-session-manager.1.gz: Should point to Undocumented.gz?
Hello,
I've been bitten by the lack of a man page for startkde in a somewhat more
serious way:
I've initially used gnome as the session-manager, then saw the light and did
update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
and switched to startkde.
However, gnome's session manager *does* have a man page, and the alternatives
system slave link to x-session-manager.1.gz is still there as a dangling
symlink.
Cron regularly complains bitterly about the dangling symlink now.
Either gnome-session should remove the slave-link (but how?
update-alternatives does not have any hooks for it), ksmserver should ship a
man page for startkde and register it as a slave link, or a slave link to the
undocumented man page should be created.
Not that I'd like to, but I could probably try to create a patch implementing
the third possibility given some time. Should I do this?

Package is ksmserver 3.2.2-1, but judging from the Changelog and #238020, the
problem is not yet fixed even in experimental.
