rhythmbox package

Man page is out-of-date

	rhythmbox (Ubuntu)	Fix Released	Low	Ubuntu Desktop Bugs

Bug Description

Rhythmbox installs two apps, rhythmbox and rhythmbox-client. However, there's no man page for rhythmbox-client and the man page for rhythmbox suggests that it accepts a bunch of options (--print-playing, etc.) that are only supported by rhythmbox-client.

Ok, I thought I'd bang something into shape, but I see that the debian/rhythmbox.1 man page source begins with

.\"Generated by db2man.xsl. Don't modify this, modify the source.

So where's the source? I don't see anything in the Ubuntu package or source or diff files that looks like the original XML source for the reference page.

Proposed patch Edit (9.4 KiB, text/plain)

Proposed patch.

It splits man pages in 2 files, one for each command.

That patch doesn't apply to the edgy or feisty package, do you have a text version of the manpages rather than a diff or a diff which apply to the Ubuntu package?
