It was a lintian error [1] that made me look into changing this. I blindly believed that 1p is looked up before 1 (similarly to 3pm vs 3perl). [1] E: libmodule-corelist-perl: diversion-for-unknown-file usr/share/man/man1/corelist.1.gz preinst:12) Perhaps perl binary manuals shall really use section 1 instead of 1p to avoid any confusion. > Quoting Colin Watson in the bug: > > > I'd contend that you should simply divert the manual page in the same > > way.
