Yeah, I think that's the place where things went a bit wrong.

I'm sorry, but this is a groff-written man page, but your suggested
change seems POD syntax.

That line now renders in man like this:

"show extra eth stats (from B<ethtool>(8))"

I don't think that's wanted.

Besides we render htop(1) and friends under "SEE ALSO" also without
any special formatting.

So I'll make it simply "ethtool(8)".

"enouth" neither is nor ever was in this Debian package.

Neither is this text.

A quick search on codesearch.debian.net reveals that this is part of
the man page from the _other_ tool named irqtop, the one from
util-linux:
https://sources.debian.org/src/util-linux/2.38.1-5/sys-utils/irqtop.1.adoc/?hl=29#L29

Which is not yet shipped in a binary package in Debian as I didn't
manage to start the migration between the two irqtops timely before
the Bookworm freeze.

Please report that error against src:util-linux.

                Regards, Axel
