Package: anacron
Version: 2.3-37
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
here are some notes and editorial fixes for the man page.
The patch is in the attachment.

The difference between the formatted outputs can be seen with:
nroff -man <file1> > <out1>
nroff -man <file2> > <out2>
diff -u <out1> <out2>
and for groff, using
"groff -man -Z" instead of "nroff -man"
Use "less -R" or similar to read the output of "diff -u".
