Bug#570965: net-tools: ifconfig(8) suggests webpage for units, but a manpage is available

[Leonardo Boiko]

Package: net-tools
Version: 1.60-22
Severity: minor

This is the "see also" section of ifconfig(8):

>        route(8), netstat(8), arp(8), rarp(8), ipchains(8), iptables(8), ifup(8), interfaces(5).
>        http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html - Prefixes for binary multiples

However, most debian systems have a list of SI prefixes -- including
binary multiples -- installed as units(7), from the "manpages" package
(priority: important).  It would seem to be a more sensible reference
to point to.
