Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.22
Severity: minor


In Emacs: M-x man RET 7 debconf RET
          M-x occur RET ([0-9]) RET

13 matches for "([0-9])" in buffer: *Man 7 debconf*
      1:DEBCONF(7)                                                                            DEBCONF(7)
      8:       named debconf, documented in debconf(1)
     28:       with apt. You can use dpkg-preconfigure (8) to do that, just pass it the filenames of the
     51:       dialog The default frontend, this uses the whiptail (1) or dialog (1) programs to display
    109:       The dpkg-reconfigure (8) and dpkg-preconfigure (8) commands also let you pass --frontend=

    142:       remote database to get defaults, with local overrides, read the debconf.conf (5) man page
    153:       You  should  really  read debconf.conf (5) before this section, as you need to understand
    157:       answer  their questions as usual. Or you might just use dpkg-preconfigure(8) to configure

    316:       debconf.conf(5), debconf-devel(7), dpkg-preconfigure(8), dpkg-reconfigure(8), debconf(1),
    321:                                                                                      DEBCONF(7)



SUGGESTION

In few cases there are extra whitespace(s) in manrefs, which should read:

   dpkg-preconfigure (8)	=> dpkg-preconfigure(8) 
   debconf.conf (5)  		=> debconf.conf(5)
