Would anyone other than Christian do? Here is a list of man
pages, generated by
% find /usr/man -type f | xargs zgrep Texinfo /dev/null
and manually deleting the handful of false hits. This was then
further parsed as:
% (for i in chroot cp dd mv df mknod rm rmdir touch du
ln chgrp chmod chown dircolors install ls mkdir
mkfifo false tty users who nice yes printf pwd
sleep stty test true tee date echo env expr
groups id basename dirname logname nohup
pathchk printenv uname whoami nl tr cat
unexpand uniq wc pr split sum tac tail comm
csplit cut expand fmt fold join cksum head od
paste sort gnu-su a2ps dvips octave scm; do
export PATH='/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin';
j=$(type -p $i);
if [ "X$j" != "X" ] ; then
dpkg -S $j;
fi;
done) | sort | tee package_list
The resulting list is appended below. Please not the small
number of packages here
% cat package_list | sed 's/:.*$//' | uniq -c | sort -n
1 a2ps
1 octave
1 scm
1 tetex-bin
15 fileutils
23 shellutils
23 textutils
I would hate to be the maintainer of the packages fileutils,
shellutils, and textutils (Galen Hazelwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>), who
has a whopping 61 man pages to write.

Good is good behaviour up to old age, good is firmly established
faith, good is the acquisition of understanding, and abstention from
evil is good. 333
