Hi all,

by the way, shouldn't the `less' package Recommend: or at least Suggest:
catdoc?

Also, while we are at modifying /usr/bin/lesspipe, maybe the error
message could make it clearer that catdoc is a program from the
`catdoc' package. (I have been using antiword for such a long time that
I forgot that it was a program name…).

Have a nice day,
