Bug#316148: iconv.1.gz: no indentation, no grouping



Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man1/iconv.1.gz


comparing a slice of the iconv man page,

       Convert characters from encoding.

       --to-code, -t encoding

       Convert characters to encoding.

       --list, -l

       List known coded character sets.

       -c


with the cat man page,

       -n, --number
              number all output lines

       -r, --reversible
              use \ to make the output reversible, implies -v

       -s, --squeeze-blank
              never more than one single blank line


we see many problems with the iconv man page. One's eye has a hard
time due to no indentation or grouping to line above/below etc.
