[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#462231: tk8.4-doc: incorrect man page references

Package: tk8.4-doc
Version: 8.4.12-1etch1
Severity: normal

The original tk man pages are installed in the 'n' section.

debian installes the whole set in the '3tk' section,
  but didn't fixup all references to other man pages in the the man page files.

for example
  man text(3tk)
references
  entry(n) and scrollbar(n)

those references need to be changed to
  entry(3tk) and scrollbar(3tk)

otherwise automatic following to those man pages is not possible.
  (i'm using emacs,
     pressing 'm' on the reference should simply open it, but can't)
