[Bug 630971] [NEW] kdm manpage has wrong path to README file

[Andrey Bondarenko]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

The kdm manpage states:

       /usr/share/doc/kdm/README.gz
              Information about kdm and its options

This statement is rather misleading as the file /usr/share/doc/kdm/README.gz does
not exists and /usr/share/doc/kdm/README contains only generic information about
kdebase-workspace.

The actual upstream kdm README file is at /usr/share/kde4/apps/doc/kdm/README.
I suppose either this file should be installed into /usr/share/doc/kdm/README.gz,
or reference about it should be removed from the man page.

Package version:
kdm: 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu14
