Because there is a single manpage; the GUI is in a separate package to
allow installation of the commandline program without GUI
dependencies, which makes sense. lintian warned that the GUI had no
manpage, because there was only a [dangling] symlink. But since the
Dependency on the cmd pkg would make it stop dangling, it is okay to
dangle in the lintian test.
