Hi,

I'm currently reviewing the package cruft[1], that compare
the status of files registred in dpkg/alternatives/diversions 
with what is actually present; and I bug on this;

Is it ok that one version of config_data man page is in section "1p"
and the other in section "1" ?

If so I'll add an exception.
