So you seem to mean that I am destructive. To show you, that this
isn't the case here are the missing man pages for cdtool, which I
wrote in less than half an hour. I don't think, that it's so hard to
wrote man pages, but it helps people to use programs without digging
in the sources first.
Please close this bug report _after_ you added these man pages to the
package.
Ciao
