Bug#1117926: debian-policy: url to man-page-howto is broken
Package: debian-policy
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
URL to man page howto is broken here: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-
policy/ch-docs.html#id11
Text reads: It is not very hard to write a man page. See the Man-Page-HOWTO,
man(7), the examples created by dh_make, the helper program help2man, or the
directory /usr/share/doc/man-db/examples
It links to http://www.schweikhardt.net/man_page_howto.html
which is broken.
Last accessible version I found is:
