Package: microcom
Version: 2012.06.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Current microcom(1) man page in testing (equal version as in Sid) has somewhat
broken man markup (see patch). Escpecially the second case is serious, because
the  escaping key sequence will be mistaken as ^- instead of ^\ in the current
version.

Patch:
