Package: tclvfs
Version: 1.3-1
Severity: minor

I'd have expected this package's man pages to be sitting next to
/usr/share/man/man3/uri.3tcl.gz, but no, here they are: 

/usr/share/man/mann/vfs.n.gz
/usr/share/man/mann/vfslib.n.gz

The upstream Makefile does this as an apparently deliberate piece of
unhelpfulness, but Debian Policy 12.1 clearly says "You should only
use sections 1 to 9 (see the FHS for more details)".

Once I know where to find them, the man pages spew unsightly errors:
