I'm fixing libbsd-dev as it's the one that introduced this while libfuntools-dev had already been using that pathname in Debian. But I think libfuntools-dev should ideally also rename at least its man page upstream, by at least suffixing the section number with something, for example funopen.3funtools or similar. Because otherwise this conflicts with the existing man page on BSD systems: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=funopen http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=funopen http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?funopen … But it might be worth considering eventually renaming the function altogether, as it can be very confusing on those systems.

I think it also should be fixed in funtools (upstream), because it will collide with system man pages on BSD systems, even if this was caused by introducing this in libbsd. BTW Ralf, it seems due to the bug being assigned to two packages, britney didn't notice which versions this was affecting, and let it migrate to testing. I don't think tools in general handle very well bugs assigned to multiple packages, so maybe you might need to reconsider that practice? Either that or talk with relevant teams to see what can be done (debbugs perhaps, and release-team at least).
