 .
   * Applyed (manually) patch to handle -l option (pipe from stdin)
     Thanx to Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk> who
     wrote the patch.  (should fix: #3739, #21445)
   * Modifyed apropos (and man -k ) behaviour to make -r option the
     default, even in absence of the env POSIXLY_CORRECT.
     Added option -e (--exact ) to permit the previous behaviour,
     when the keywords match only full words in the descriptions.
     Modifyed the usage of man and apropos.
     Need to modify the manpages and the manual.
     Thanx to Ian Jackson who posted the suggestion eons ago.
     (should fix: #3788 )
   * TODO:
   * To fix bug #5360 (which is not a bug in man-db) I want to create
     a manpage installer program that checks all the common errors
     in manpages like broken symlinks, wrong section, wrong location,
     missing of preprocessor directive in the first line and missing
     of .SH NAME section.
     This installer should also execute mandb to update the database (as
     when man -u is issued), as the automatic detection of new manpages
     doesn't work in case of multiple pages with the same name in
     different sections (#10106).  This update should be done in
     background after dpkg has finished.
   * I need to add an option to show the order in which sections are
     processed while searching for a page. Actually this list is
     hardwired in the source code. It should be in the config file AND
     dinamically extended by mandb (which finds new sections). Splitting
     the config file into a directory would improve this? Yes.
   * For bug #11848 I should download glib sources, apply patches and
     then look into "locale" source code to see how and from where it
     takes the informations printed in line 'ctype-codeset-name' when I
     issue the command 'locale -k LC_CTYPE'; then reproduce this inside
     man.c and check the result. --ascii option should be assumed for
     ISO8859 different from -0, -1, -3, -7, -9 .
