Not only that, but a completely off-topic one... like a lot of his
trolls. What has 'man apt-get' to do with Python? For all I know, the
package may be written in Python, or the man page could be generated
on-the-fly by a Python script, but unless you say how it's relevant to
python-list/c.l.p, it's not obvious. Now, if that were 'man python'
that he's criticizing, then sure. But it's not.
