Which excludes those which have a link to undocumented(7) instead of a real
manual page (which is a Policy rule), making that list rather incomplete.
Maybe lintian should be changed to report 'binary-without-manpage' as errors
(like it does now), and a new warning 'manpage-undocumented' for everything
that links to undocumented(7)?
BTW there's something wrong with that check, it says zsh doesn't have
a manual page, but it has.
