Package: man-db
Version: 2.12.1-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

  Looking at the output of "man man"

   * What was the outcome of this action?

  Seeing a broken line in three of the four lines in the table

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     Complete straight lines, as there is enough place for them.

-.-

1) use ".nf" before table, and ".fi" after it

2) Use two lines for the column format,
the first for the header,
the second for the rest, that is

l l l l
l l l c .

  The 'c' for the last header causes (creates) a trailing space,
which is not reported (in the upstream)
but silently removed each time the man page is rendered.

Why just never create it?
