xmix did it too. I thought it pointed to a more general problem but
I cannot see what groff and xmix have in common. I suspect there are
many other packages that would snag on this.
groff in stable is the scarily versioned 1.17.2-15.woody.1
If you think its a case of "you last installed some packages when Bruce
was around, what do you expect" kind of bug then close it. I just
wanted to make sure there wasn't some evil overlapping going on.
