The attached patch fixes more issues including this one. Please note,
that there has been a problem with docbook-xsl 1.73 not escaping the
dash in the whatis entry. This is fixed in docbook-xsl 1.73.2.dfsg.1-3,
which will be uploaded soon. For the moment, you can only fix it
yourself in the resulting man-pages or by applying the following patch
[1] to /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/manpages/refentry.xsl.
