I saw an earlier thread for LFS 6.0 regarding the man page for "tar" 
is missing. It is missing in 6.1 too.  It was claimed that there was 
no man page for tar, only an info page.  

That's strange, because Fedora and Red Hat have a man page for tar 
and it is also listed on the superman pages 
(http://linuxcommand.org/superman_pages.php) 

I also noticed that one or more of the bash built-in commands won't 
come up using man (try "man source" for example).

Which then makes me wonder, why are many of the man pages maintained 
seperately (in the man-pages package)?  Shouldn't man pages be part 
of each source tarball?  That seems like a major disconnect between 
the maintainers of the software and maintainers of the documentation!
