Bug#2021: man pages for lrzsz corrupt

[Alvar Bray <alvar@meiko.co.uk>]

Hi,

	myrddin:~$ man lsz
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor `R'
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor `v'
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor `i'
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor `s'
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor `i'
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor `o'
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor `n'
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor ` '
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor `L'
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor `v'
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor `l'
	man: ignoring unknown preprocessor ` '
	Reformatting lsz(1), please wait..

This is actually a problem with the man package - it tries to
interpret the string "Revision Level" as a list of preprocessors to
use on the file. (as Sun machines do) It interprets "e" as use equn
(which it does 3 times but doesnt know about the rest.

I have reported this problem to the upstream man_db package maintainer
several months ago anf he is working on a fix (that will hopefully
involve removing this feature altogether).

In the mean time though the quickest way of getting this problem to go
away would be to modify the sz/rz man pages to remove the "Revision
Level" line entirely.
