Agreed; it seems like about the best style guide I know of, and the
Linux manual pages are very well-written these days so should be good
examples to follow.  I've applied this patch, thanks.

Probably not, although it does mean that the POT file ends up with a
sentence fragment.  I've refrained from unfuzzying as it's possible some
translators are going to take the opportunity to express some kind of
preference about this. :-)

I'm not, I'm afraid - perhaps the fixes for the second and third points
in my gnulib report need to be forwarded to glibc, as that's where argp
ultimately comes from.  I don't think I'm going to have time for this
any time soon though, unfortunately ...

Hey, you too.  DebConf tends to be pretty frenetic and it's easy to be
overwhelmed sometimes!  It helps as you get to know more people, IME ...

Cheers,
