Sorry, I'm not responsible for Google not working as you expect. You
were claiming that the manpage didn't provide the info, I was just
making the point that *my* manpage did provide the info. As you can
imagine, I discovered in this thread that your manpage is different
than mine, hence you probably understand my nitpicking.

YMMV. If manpage are unique, their names are as good as links. In this
case they were not, hence the link (but only after I smelled the
potential issue, I'm no clairvoyant).

Here is the drill of our misunderstanding. I didn't get until now that
you were cross-packaging. You just appeared to be someone which was
lazy in reading manpages, which I only now I understand it was not the
case. Sorry for that, but it would have been easier if you had said
that in the beginning.
Cheers.
