:-) Suggestions for better wording appreciated. Maybe just "for help when manual pages are not available"? (I'd like to make sure that it's of the form "See '%s' for ..." or something similar, where "man 7 undocumented" gets substituted for %s. This means that I can include the message upstream in a non-Debian-specific way and have it properly translated, which is one way to get an easy win over the current arrangement.) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
