At

  https://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-2.0/relnotes.html?VERSION=2.0

we have

  Adopted Linux man page conventions and updated all man pages (STR #4372, STR #4329)

Please would you take a look at the man pages in cups in unstable and
see whether your concerns with formatting issues can be put to rest.

STR #4360, which Didier submitted, isn't mentioned in the release notes
but is marked as fixed in 2.0-current (SVN: r11629).

Regards,

Brian.
