For example, tcsh's installation creates a symlink in /etc/alternatives from csh.1 to /usr/man/man1/tcsh.1 -- but searching for csh.1 in dpkg --search [as indicated in the bug-reporting.txt file] does not mention the symlink! # dpkg --search csh.1 tcsh: /usr/man/man1/tcsh.1 Actually, there does not appear to be any way to determine which package created a particular file.
