Bug#592342: llvm-2.7: man page inconsistency for llvm-gcc

Package: llvm-2.7
Version: 2.7-4
Severity: normal

If one wants to read the man page for llvm-gcc, one needs to type:

  man llvmgcc-2.7

instead of

  man llvm-gcc

This is a first inconsistency. A second inconsistency is that the
man page says in its header: LLVMGCC(1), which is different from
llvmgcc-2.7 and llvm-gcc.

Also, this is the llvm-gcc-4.2 package that provides /usr/bin/llvm-gcc.
This means that if llvm-2.7 is installed, but not llvm-gcc-4.2, one can
get a man page for something that doesn't exist. I suppose that this
man page should be moved to the llvm-gcc-4.2 package.
