+Removed pages (!)
+-----------------
+
+Most Section 1 man pages are removed
+    mtk (with help from Mike Frysinger, Laird Shaw, Andreas Halter)
+        Once upon time Andries added a number of Section 1 manual pages
+        to man-pages.  However, since that time, those pages have not
+        seen much maintenance, and are not in fact distributed in most
+        distributions.  Instead most distributions supply the 
+        coreutils versions of these pages, which are currently
+        maintained.  In addition, man-pages provides the 1p pages,
+        which document the portable subset of functionality of these
+        commands.  Since the man1 pages are mostly unneeded, and
+        out of date, I'm removing them.  The following pages disappear:
+        
+            chgrp.1
+            chmod.1
+            chown.1
+            cp.1
+            dd.1
+            df.1
+            diff.1
+            dir.1
+            dircolors.1
+            du.1
+            install.1
+            ln.1
+            ls.1
+            mkdir.1
+            mkfifo.1
+            mknod.1
+            mv.1
+            rm.1
+            rmdir.1
+            touch.1
+            vdir.1
+
+        The following Section 1 pages will be kept:
+
+            intro.1
+            ldd.1
+            time.1
