I hear what you are saying, but it doesn't speak to my question. How does
any of this make it inappropriate for a man browser to suggest/recommend
the manpages package?
I'm not trying to make you responsible for the problem, but I don't see
why you are so opposed to fixing this little nit in this fashion? So far
you haven't addressed the issue, but only talked about other, unrelated
