I, as part of the lintian-maint crew, filed a bug against perl about this
issue. [1] It's a problem of perl (the package) at it patches
ExtUtils::MakeMaker to create manpages with .3pm/.1p suffixes, but the
patch doesn't fix EU::MM to change the content of the manpages
themselves.

[1]  I was sure i did, at least. But somehow i can't find a trace of
     it. *sigh* It's on my TODO [2] list again.
[2]  <ad>In fact, it's a odot list - Try out odot! Now!</ad>
