Well, I didn't personally, as upstream had already handled it, but yes.
Werner, could you apply this patch?  FreeBSD 7.3 hasn't been released
yet, but -RC1 is out.  I noticed also that we needed to add an entry for
IEEE Std 1003.1-2008, which the following patch takes care of.

I'll make a corresponding upload to Debian shortly.

A number of these entries appear to be due to lintian.debian.org using
an out-of-date groff, but I did what I could to resolve things.

Thanks,
