Bug#1005907: xdg-utils: "man open" gives the manpage of "xdg-open"

[Dr. Nikolaus Klepp]

Package: xdg-utils
Version: 1.1.3-4.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
$ man open

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
$ man open

   * What was the outcome of this action?
The manpage of xdg-open, /usr/share/man/man1/xdg-open.1.gz, from package "xdg-utils". I was told tis is "installed as alternative, so works as expected". Well, this does not work as expected. "man open" must give the correct manpage of "open", not "xdg-open".

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
The manpage of "open", /usr/share/man/man2/open.2.gz, from package "manpages-dev"
