I apologise if this is already fixed.  It's tough to parse that RB
bug list.

I see:

   ---------------------------------
              - (hyphen) do not pad the field _ (underscore) pad with
                spaces 0 (zero) pad with zeros ^ use upper case if
                possible # use opposite case if possible
   ---------------------------------

Which is ugly.  Change the relevant manpage
(/usr/share/man/man1/date.1.gz) code to:

   ---------------------------------
.IP
\- (hyphen) do not pad the field
.IP
_ (underscore) pad with spaces
.IP
0 (zero) pad with zeros
.IP
^ use upper case if possible
.IP
# use opposite case if possible
   ---------------------------------

... and it gives this:

   ---------------------------------
              - (hyphen) do not pad the field

              _ (underscore) pad with spaces

              0 (zero) pad with zeros

              ^ use upper case if possible

              # use opposite case if possible
   ---------------------------------

  :-)  There may be a better way (I don't know *roff).  This is just me
flailing about.
