Package: man-db

Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man1/apropos.1.gz

Mention the best way to not only search for man pages, but also show
their contents.

Just like one can do
$ aptitude search 256
$ aptitude show ~n256

So for apropos that would probably be
$ apropos 256 #and then if happy with the results, do
$ apropos 256|sed 's/ .*//'|xargs man

(Thus reading up on lots of SHA256 related programs installed on his
system, all via a one liner.)
