Downstream bug: https://bugs.debian.org/1059536, part 2.
Dt is misrendered but only in nroff mode.
Given
.Dt A_B_C 9
In troff mode, and in 1.22.4-10, the top left and right corners were
"A_B_C(9)".
In 1.23.0-3 in nroff they are "\fIA_B_C\fP(9)", which:
(a) why would you need this?
(b) completely breaks manuals with underscores in the name,
because "\fIA_B_C\fP(9)" and "A_B_C(9)" and "\fIA B C\fP(9)"
are all drawn identically.
I didn't have the time or the energy to root-cause this.
