"manpages-dev". Be aware though that TeXinfo rather than man is the preferred documentation format for the GNU project; the info documentation is much more likely to be extensive and up to date. (E.g. the GNU C library documentation is 900+ pages A4). You may want to consider using a unified documentation interface like "dwww" or "dhelp". HTH, Ray -- J.H.M.
