Just looking at pages like the above, which I suppose is libc6
related, it is very hard to find out where to report bugs to. Yes,
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ is mentioned, but that is for
things wrong with the man page itself. But for bugs like "please
implement unsetting auto_abbrev like on Getopt::Long.3perl" the real
place to learn where to send bugs is (my guess:)
/usr/share/doc/libc6/BUGS and thus http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ ,
but one could never figure that out just looking at
/usr/share/man/man3/getopt.3.gz ! Therefore there is a whole class of
man pages that don't say the real party to contact.
