Bug#2798: mandb doesn't like man pages from mailagent



	Thanks for the bug report.  I had a hard time finding on line
 references to the syntax of the .so directive (my [nt]roff references
 are at work, but I finally tracked it down in the man page on my DEC
 alpha machines).  It turns out that mandb is correct, the .so lines
 should be just man?/foo.? I am attempting a correction now (the
 package is very clever about configurable sections to put man pages
 into, so I have to modify the auto man page generation process).

	I'll also forward the patches upstream.
