But checking now more carefully, it seems those man pages from section 3 have section 2 in the troff sources, so dh_installman fixed up their filenames to match reality.

Yeah, that's something that should be sorted out eventually, but each man page would need to be checked out, also where those should live is something that would need to be discussed with both upstreams (libaio and man-pages). thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
