Looks like there are some more errors for --help, see this command: $ zgrep -iE -- '-help|not valid' /usr/share/man/man1/pdb_*.1.gz Also a lot of the manual pages are even more broken now, some of them contain just an error message from the program and no help text but that help text was present in the 2.5.0-1 upload. I used diffoscope to compare the 2.5.0-1 and 2.5.0-2 binaries to notice this. > Not sure this is necessary undesirable.

I think I was not clear enough, I meant that in each individual manual page, there are paragraphs that were copied a couple of times. However it seems these all of these issues were fixed in the 2.5.0-2 upload though, at least according the diffoscope and grep. $ zgrep 'This program is part of the' /usr/share/man/man1/pdb_*.1.gz | sed s/:.*// | sort | uniq -c | sort -n -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
