thank you for submissions. I was just going to apply these man page
fixes, but it seems that the vast majority of changes are introductions
of unnecessary line breaks.

For example, from cap_copy_ext.3.diff:

> +when converted by

I haven't noticed the exact pattern for when this happens, other than
punctuation always seems to cause a break. From the same diff:

I wouldn't mind applying this regardless, but as I feed patches back
upstream, I can't really justify sending them as as-is.

Would it be possible for you to check in your script where these line
breaks come from?

Otherwise, I can just extract the actual fixes.

Best,
Christian
