Bug#105377: apt_preferences manpage not referenced
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: normal
Tags: woody sid
I have just been introduced to the wonders of the /etc/apt/preferences
file which is a cool feature that is documented in the apt_preferences
manpage. However there is no hint in the other apt manpages (apt-get,
apt-cache, apt, apt.conf) or in the users guide that the manpage exists.
It would be very nice to have apt_preferences referenced in the SEE ALSO
sections of these manpages, so that a random user like me can read that
manpage without being told of its existence by somebody else.
Keep up the good work

P.S.: I am willing to contribute a patch. I suppose this is trivial, but
I have no idea what tools I need to edit the sgml sources.
