Bug#505457: grub-pc: GRUB manpage "NAME" fields should be more descriptive

[Ralph Aichinger]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080724-12
Severity: minor


Manpage "NAME" entries are helpful when using the "apropos"
command. Unfortunately "apropos grub" only produces:

ralph at glitz:~$ apropos grub
grub-editenv (1)     - manual page for grub-editenv (GRUB) 1.96
grub-emu (8)         - manual page for grub-emu (GRUB) 1.96
grub-install (1) [grub-mkrescue] - manual page for grub-mkrescue (GNU
GRUB 1.96)
grub-install (8)     - manual page for grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.96)
grub-mkdevicemap (8) - manual page for grub-mkdevicemap (GRUB) 1.96
grub-mkimage (1)     - manual page for grub-mkimage (GRUB) 1.96
grub-mkrescue (1)    - manual page for grub-mkrescue (GNU GRUB 1.96)
grub-setup (8)       - manual page for grub-setup (GRUB) 1.96
update-grub (8)      - manual page for update-grub (GNU GRUB )

I already know these are man pages ;)

Contrast this with e.g. 

ralph at glitz:~$ apropos hal
gnome-eject (1)      - Mount drives and volumes using HAL and read
settings f...
gnome-mount (1)      - Mount drives and volumes using HAL and read
settings f...
gnome-umount (1)     - Mount drives and volumes using HAL and read
settings f...
hal-disable-polling (1) - disable polling on drives with removable media
hal-find-by-capability (1) - find device objects by capability matching
hal-find-by-property (1) - find device objects by property matching
hal-get-property (1) - get a property from a device object
hal-is-caller-locked-out (1) - determine if a caller is locked out
hal-lock (1)         - lock an interface

which is much more helpful.

Thanks for considering!
