As far as I can tell, this is already present. The main executables of the package are called equivs-build and equivs-control, and there is a manual page for both of them. > My first try, when I install a package, is to type > man package > I'm always disappointed when it actually doesn't give anything... I'm sure your request for an "equivs" man page could be considered, but there are lots of other packages which don't contain a man page (or an executable) with the same name as the package. You just need to consider various library packages, and in particular the (somewhat silly) Perl package naming convention -- librcs-perl, libtext-csv-perl -- but even among packages which provide userland binaries, what you want and expect is by no means the only norm. Do you expect coreutils to have a coreutils(1) manual page, too? abiword-common? altgcc? apt? /* era */ -- If this were a real .signature, it would suck less.
