Package: lirc
Version: 0.8.3-3
Severity: minor

debian/patches/04_man_pages is missing the conversion for
"--allow-simulate", I have included the full patch instead of giving a
patch to a patch:

-The --allow-simulate option will enable the SIMULATE command which can
+The \-\-allow-simulate option will enable the SIMULATE command which can

I've also attached my "debian/patches/22_man_pages2" patch which
- formats references to programs in bold
- formats references to files in italic
- formats references to option-names in bold
- formats references to manual-pages in bold(roman).

Yes, I've read that the manual-pages are created by help2man, but since
help2man is not clever enougth to format this "right" itself, I think
doing it manually is an option; the help texts of the lirc programs
don't change that often.
