Debian's QA tool “lintian” reported a bad whatis entry for the
xorg.conf(.d) manpages.
It comes with the following pointers:
For manual pages that document multiple programs, functions, files, or
other things, the part before "\-" should list each separated by a
comma and a space. […]
Refer to the lexgrog(1) manual page, the groff_man(7) manual page, and
the groff_mdoc(7) manual page for details.
Indeed, the current situation is:
$ whatis xorg.conf; whatis xorg.conf.d
xorg.conf (5) - (unknown subject)
xorg.conf.d (5) - (unknown subject)
With this patch:
xorg.conf (5) - configuration files for Xorg X server
xorg.conf.d (5) - configuration files for Xorg X server
