If lack of a manpage is a "problem", what do we gain by making a symlink to undocumented(7), if it still has to be kept as a "bug"? On the other hand, if an upstream maintainer does not consider the lack of manpage as a bug (examples: most GNU packages), does not the Debian maintainer have the right to agree with the upstream author about it not being a bug? -- "b1ee6833581dd5dd33ce109e6147c783" (a truly random sig)
