https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=959891 Mostly a historical mistake that has been difficult to fix because of the update-alternatives trees for the manpages, where moving "slave" links from one tree to another is quite hard. I think it's possible to revisit that now that the client and server manpage trees have been merged. > (The same confusion applies to vacuumlo.) Ack. Christoph
