Package: libcap2-bin
Version: 1:2.25-1
Severity: minor

Hi!
I'm afraid libcap2-bin lacks some documentation required to use it.  Could
you please make at least the section "ᴛᴇxᴛᴜᴀʟ ʀᴇᴘʀᴇꜱᴇɴᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ" from
cap_from_text(3) available in the main package?  It describes the syntax
needed to set capabilities.

It could be done by:
* moving that entire manpage.  Slightly inappropriate (C interface belongs
  in libcap-dev) but least amount of work.
* moving just the section
* paraphrasing most relevant parts ("man setcap" is a stub)
