[Python-modules-team] Bug#806601: rst2man: comma after option argument is in bold

Package: python-docutils
Version: 0.12+dfsg-1

Please see the attached rST document. If you convert it to a manpage, 
the comma between "-f" and "--foo" uses the normal font, as it should; 
but the comma between "-b n" and "--bar n" is in bold.

I had a look at the *roff source:

$ rst2man man.rst | grep -E 'foo|bar'
.B \-f\fP,\fB  \-\-foo
.BI \-b \ n\fP,\fB \ \-\-bar \ n

I suppose \fP was intended to reset to the normal font; but in the .BI 
line it actually switches to the bold font.
