+Name
+       Linux man-pages - manual pages for GNU/Linux
+
+Synopsis
+       This package contains GNU/Linux manual pages for sections 1
+       through 8.
+
+Description
+       The manual pages in this project document primarily the Linux
+       kernel and the GNU C library, but also consider relevant
+       differences in other kernels or C libraries.
+
+       These pages are most of the section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 man pages for
+       GNU/Linux.  A few pages are provided in sections 1 and 8 for
+       commands that are not documented in other packages, and there are
+       a few pages in sections 5 and 8 for the timezone utilities.
