Package: groff-base
Version: 1.23.0-2

This version of groff maps an unescaped "-" to HYPHEN rather than
HYPHEN-MINUS.  Due to that, copying text from manpages or following
references in the "SEE ALSO" section is rather unreliable, because many
manpages contain a plain "-" where they should have used "\-" instead.

Neither the upstream NEWS file nor the Debian changelog make any mention
of this change, or how to revert it locally.  Running "man" under
LC_ALL=C works around it, at the cost of worse typography.
