[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#622611: zsh: use alternatives for man pages?

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.11-4
Severity: wishlist

I wonder whether alternatives should be used for man pages. The zsh4
prefix would be used for zsh, the zsh-beta prefix would be used for
zsh-beta, and the zsh prefix would be used for the default.

One of the current problems is that "run-help zsh" doesn't give the
man page corresponding to the actual zsh binary if the alternatives
point to zsh-beta.
