Dear Maintainer,

  From "nroff -t -Tlatin1 -ww -mandoc"

<nroff: man.1:>:977: warning [p 8, 0.8i, div `3tbd1,0', 0.0i]: cannot adjust 
line
<nroff: man.1:>:986: warning [p 8, 0.8i, div `3tbd4,0', 0.0i]: cannot adjust 
line

  File is /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz

  Changes (besides warnings):

  A full stop (.) at the end (or beginning) of a string protected with
  \&

  Space between sentences increased.  Better is to start each sentence
on a new line

  Extra space (\, or \/) inserted between a roman and an italic character

  Quotion mark (") used around an argument instead of '\ ' between strings

  Patch:
