I have no recollection of doing anything special.  At some point,
libmodule-corelist-perl was installed because of some dependency.  The
other day, that dependency was no longer needed.

Here is what I got:

$ dpkg -S usr/share/man/man1/corelist
diversion by libmodule-corelist-perl from: /usr/share/man/man1/corelist.1.gz
diversion by libmodule-corelist-perl to: /usr/share/man/man1/corelist.bundled.1.gz
diversion by libmodule-corelist-perl from: /usr/share/man/man1/corelist.1.gz
