Dear Maintainer,
The man page at host.1 in this package has an error in the formatting
for the description of the `-l` option; for me it renders as below (I've
added *s to indicate the bits in bright white):
This option tells *named` to list the zone, meaning the ``host*
command performs a zone ...
I rather suspect it should instead be rendered as below:
This option tells *named* to list the zone, meaning the *host*
command performs a zone ...
I've verified that the attached patch resolves this.
