seconded.

i don't think that the undocumented man page is more frustrating than
"No manual entry for ofenrohre", but it shouldn't be too hard to
actually provide a manpage for everything ins /bin, /usr/bin and so
on.

i actually don't understand why we have these because i thought that
uploaded packages are lintian-checked and refused if they have errors.
but obviously that was a just a dream...
