Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.5.6.1
Severity: normal
In this section I read:
Modules
Manual pages for modules are installed into
`/usr/share/man/man3' with the extension `.3perl'.
But all the actual package seem to use .3pm. Also, there should
probably be a mention that the packages in practice show up with
extension '.gz' after the extensions described currently.
