Package: man-db
Version: 2.4.3-3
Severity: normal

i'd include --debug, but i do not have the scrollback buffer to do so.

man -W cannot be piped or redirected or substituted in the shell.
this prevents the ability for wrappers to man to use the cache that
man uses.

likewise --debug.

my proposed solution is to send all output to stdio.

thanks.
