For example, in the procmail(1) man page, the 'see also' section appears after only 28% of the file, and not at the bottom where we would expect it! Thus one might think there is no 'see also'. Same with some of the other man pages of the package.
Hello. I received this report from the Debian bug system. I assume the submitter implicitly suggests moving the SEE ALSO sections to the end of the manpages, where it seems it is traditional to find them. Package: procmail Version: 3.22-4 Severity: normal For example, in the procmail(1) man page, the 'see also' section appears after only 28% of the file, and not at the bottom where we would expect it! Thus one might think there is no 'see also'. Same with some of the other man pages of the package.
Putting it lower would mean letting go of the standard order. Then again, maybe the "standard" from back then is not what it is now. Suggestions?
