Bug#75508: packaging-manual: a wrong example



Package: packaging-manual
Version: 3.2.1.0
Severity: normal

in chapter 1, there is an example as listed by:
$ grep tar /usr/share/doc/packaging-manual/packaging.html/ch-binarypkg.html 

dpkg --fsys-tarfile <var>filename</var>.deb | tar xof usr/doc/<var>\*</var>copyright | less
                                                  ^^^
which i think should be:

dpkg --fsys-tarfile drscheme_103-7_i386.deb | tar Ox ./usr/share/doc/drscheme/copyright | less
                                                  ^^^^
?? or is that something related to different tar versions? Or that my
package broken? :-) But may sounds unlikely. :-)
