Update of bug #42434 (project groff):

                Category:                    None => Core                   
              Item Group:                    None => Lint                   

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #2:

Setting to "lint" item group because I know of nothing in the FLOSS world that
still interprets these.  We don't, and man-db man(1) scans the full text of a
man page to determine which preprocessors to run, and has for over 20 years.

Maybe file(1) does?


man\_db-2.3.18 (14 May 2001)
============================

man\_db-2.3.18 is an interim release under new maintenance by Colin Watson,
merging much of the work done by former maintainers (Graeme Wilford and 
Fabrizio Polacco).  It incorporates several years of changes made in the
Debian GNU/Linux distribution's package of man\_db.

[...]

 * `lexgrog` now scans manual pages to guess which preprocessors are needed.
