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?

-Malte

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