Well this one is easy, Ian. I can copy from you:
TIME(1) Debian GNU/Linux TIME(1)
NAME
time - Run programs and state system resources use.
DESCRIPTION
time does not have a useful man page. Please do not
report this as a bug.
Instead, if you are a competent and accurate writer and
are willing to spend the time reading the source code and
writing good manpages please write a better man page than
this one.
Type time --help for a brief summary of how to use time.
AUTHOR

Guess I'll leave this open 'til I get 'round to write it up from the info
page.
