Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.43-0
Severity: normal

mention it specifically. Even the ones that do mention it, talk only about
"the same existing file", which can't be clearly understood.

I think the page should contain something like:

If the oldpath and newpath refer to the same existing file (hard links of
the same file), rename() returns successfully without doing anything.
