Package: vim-gui-common
Version: 1:6.4-004+1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/man/man1/gvim.1

Hi,
gvim.1 points to vim.1, but there is only a vim.1.gz

defiant:/usr/share/man/man1% ls -l *vim.1*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  800 2005-12-07 14:13 evim.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    5 2005-12-12 15:39 gvim.1 -> vim.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    5 2005-12-12 15:39 rgvim.1 -> vim.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    8 2005-12-12 15:39 rvim.1.gz -> vim.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5369 2005-12-07 14:13 vim.1.gz

Similar problems exit for some other links:
