[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#656676: acpi_listen(8) manpage has pointless See Also section

package: acpid
Version: 1:2.0.14-1
severity: wishlist

The See Also section the acpi_listen(8) manpage points to regcomp(3), 
sh(1), socket(2), connect(2).  Why should it point to the functions it 
calls, or the shell, or even regcomp?

If that were a sane thing to do, then *all* programs installed in 
/{,usr/}{bin,sbin} should mention sh(1), and mention *some* subset of 
random functions/libraries that they use.

See Also in a manpage should provide useful links.  Maybe one pointed 
at acpid(8).
