Dear Maintainer,

  Changes in the file "ftsfind.1":

  Similar (but augmented) to bug 40803 at upstream

  \- in(side) a compound word (option) changed to - (hyphen-minus, u002D)

  People, that want a special edition for paste-and-cut, can use the
command 'man --ascii', try the command 'info' or the command 'man'
should have an option for emitting the code for 'hyphen-minus' instead
of the (different) code for the minus- or hyphen-glyph.  The
copy-and-pasting uses the code, not the names of glyphs.

  Spelling rules tell us to use a hyphen in a compound word.  Using a
minus is also a fallacy.

  Patch:
