Sorry to change the topic, but looking at some of the manpages in the "manpages" package, and some of the pages in the "manpages-dev" causes me no notice some pages that look like they probably should be in a different package.

ld-linux(8)
ld-linux.so(8)
These probably belong in libc6 which appears to be the provider of ld-linux.so

sync(8)
This should be deleted. Coreutils (the provider of the sync utility) provides sync(1) for that utility.

tzselect(8)
This should be removed. it duplicates tzslect(1) (which i presume is provided by the package providing tzselect)

ksoftirqd(9)
 I'm pretty sure this does not belong in the manpage package.


As for manpages-dev, it would seem more logical for the linux syscall manpages to be part of linux, and the library documentation to be a part of the libraries that provide the documented functions.

If somebody with more time can check on these and, if they are valid, file bugs, I would appreciate it, as I do not have the time right now.
