Bug#512130: libxt-dev: broken xrefs in manpages



Hi,

Ian Zimmerman <itz@buug.org> (17/01/2009):
> Hi, the Xt manpages are installed in section 3 (and not 3Xt as

there's a macro which should help: __libmansuffix__. It's already used
all over the place, but not yet completely:
| $ git grep __libmansuffix__ man/*.man|wc -l
| 267
| $ git grep 3Xt man/*.man|wc -l
| 87

A single regex might be sufficient to get everything sorted out.
