   5 for p in $(dpkg -L $pkg | grep -E '/usr/share/man/man[18]/') ; do
   6   s=$(echo $p |sed -e 's,.*/man\([0-9]\)/.*,\1,')

 * DebianPkg:reportbug - reports bugs in the Debian distribution
  * [[DebianMan:1/reportbug|reportbug(1)]] - reports a bug to a debbugs server
  * [[DebianMan:1/querybts|querybts(1)]]   - view outstanding bug reports on a debbugs server

which is rendered as:

  • reportbug - reports bugs in the Debian distribution
