Package: gnu-fdisk
Version: 1.2.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #536400

Hello,

I can confirm this problem is still present in version 1.2.3-1. Manpages of the original fdisk and sfdisk get diverted like this:
diversion of /usr/share/man/man8/cfdisk.8.gz to /usr/share/man/man8/cfdisk.8.gz.distrib by gnu-fdisk
diversion of /usr/share/man/man8/fdisk.8.gz to /usr/share/man/man8/fdisk.8.gz.distrib by gnu-fdisk

So, with a suffix .8.gz.distrib, these manpages are unavailable, except by manually gunziping their content and passing it to man, which is not really a friendly way to look for documentation:
zcat /usr/share/man/man8/cfdisk.8.gz.distrib | man -l -

Regards,
