Manpages are a bit different:

The manpages package is maintained in Ubuntu and contains anything in
sections 4 (Devices), 5 (Formats and Protocols) and 7 (Conventions and
Standards).

Applications provide their respective files for 1, 6 and 8.  So the
chances are that your bug will be against the application that you
entered when you typed "man package".

> Also, I just downloaded your Playbook!  Very helpful.

Cool, I'm glad its helping people out!

I've cc'd this onto the list because there may well be other
contributers wanting to know the answer.
