[Debconf-devel] Bug#505392: debconf-devel manpage should refer to po-debconf manpage (not README)

[James R. Van Zandt]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.24
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


po-debconf now has a manpage, so the debconf-devel manpage should no
longer direct the reader to a README file.  I suggest this patch.
