Hi,

Please find attach a patch aiming to not terminate the SEE ALSO list
with a period (and keeping the comma as separator in the edited lists,
and follow it by other related pages or documents).

Even if devscripts is not part of the “Linux man pages”, man-pages(7)
seems like the most (only?) man pages guideline existing, and may worth
being followed.

If you'd agree, I can go back whole manpages list and propose (or
directly apply) a patch following the other part of the advice: order
the list “by section number and then alphabetically by name”.
