Package: systemd
Version: 215-12
Severity: important
File: /usr/share/man/man1/systemd.1.gz
Dear Maintainer,
When I run "man init", I expect to see the manpage corresponding to
/sbin/init; since /sbin/init comes from sysvinit-core on my system,
that would be init(8), but I get systemd(1) instead.
This is seems to be partly because section 1 is before section 8 in
the search path, and partly because of the "whatis" entry:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
.SH "NAME"
systemd, init \- systemd system and service manager
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
which (given the path/filename and the stuff passed to .TH) presumably
gives man-db the impression that this file should be considered to
provide the init(1) manpage, rather than init(8) as it should be.
It might be time to finally ask the man-db maintainer to stop
including/using whatis entries in the database, or at least to use
them only as a last resort...
