Package: manedit
Version: 0.6.1-1
Severity: minor

Even though manedit.1.gz refers to:

> /usr/share/man
>       Global manual pages directory (used by newer UNIX
>       distributions). 

manedit's compiled-in "Global" value is /usr/man, missing all the
Debian man pages.  That's an obvious FHS-compliance bug, though
fortunately users can work around it in their ~/.maneditrc.

A grep through the source tarball shows:

> pref.c-1708-#if defined(__FreeBSD__)
> pref.c:1709:     text[0] = "/usr/share/man";
> pref.c-1710-#else
> pref.c:1711:     text[0] = "/usr/man";
> pref.c-1712-#endif
> --
> prefcb.c-678-#if defined(__FreeBSD__)
> prefcb.c:679:           "/usr/share/man",
> prefcb.c-680-#else
> prefcb.c:681:           "/usr/man",
> prefcb.c-682-#endif

(Some bonus wishlistiness: /usr/bin/manpath, $TMPDIR, GTK 2...)
