Package: libncurses5-dev
Version: 5.0-6.0potato1
Severity: normal

there seem to be several manpages where the "Name" (in the manpage) don't match the filename.

for example, the manpage for menu_new(3menu) has a "Name" of "mitem_new - create and destroy menu items"

the new(3menu) page has a Name of "menu_new - create and destroy menus"

this makes it very difficult to find the manpages for ncurses functions
