Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.3.2.ds1-18 Severity: minor The manual page for gencat has a "\fT" instead of a "\fR" which causes all of the first paragraph to be boldface rather than just the word "gencat". I think it makes sense to mark "catgets" as boldface as well, and it might be good to add a "(3)" afterwards.
Options are better shown with .TP paragraphs. They are more visually distinctive this way, when the explanations are indented. I am attaching a patch to make these changes. Only the first change is a real bug, the others are more a matter of opinion.
