Package: libmodule-build-perl
Version: 0.400000-1
Severity: minor
This package should divert /usr/share/man/man1/config_data.1.gz
from perl away in favour of its own, supposedly newer version,
/usr/share/man/man1/config_data.1p.gz. Otherwise the man search
path will prefer the older version by default.
See #474529; quoting Colin Watson there:
> It's almost always wrong to handle manual pages differently from
> binaries in maintainer scripts - if you divert foo to foo.real, you
> should also divert foo.1.gz to foo.real.1.gz. (Similarly for
> alternatives.)
