Sure --- that sounds like a sensible idea.  Given a patch in "diff -u"
format (against src/dash.1 from the source tree, or
/usr/share/man/man1/dash.1.gz from the binary package), I'd be happy
to forward this upstream (or one can contact upstream directly as
described at [1]).

Thanks for your thoughtfulness.
