For real manual pages, yes, but this is supposed to be a quick way to get at least some useful information (command line synopsis) and a pointer to the real manual. If we require Debian maintainers to rewrite the Info files as manual pages, it will cause them much more work, and I don't think that's a good idea. > Lars, could you provide a README or something like that ("style guide") > for you sample man-page to cover those aspects? (read: the things you did > well but didn't explain explicitly). man(1) and man(7) should cover this. If not, I could write something, but I'm not really very good at troff -- I just copy and imitate what other pages do. -- Please read <http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html> before mailing me.
