Hi,

I've tried to look at the upstream sources (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/tree/man5) and I couldn't find any manual entry similar to the one you want to backport.

Comment 2 Lukas Javorsky 2023-07-21 09:48:04 UTC

My apology, I've been looking into the `man-pages` package and this is related to `man-db` package.
