The LDP does not currently maintain man pages. We merely make
the existing man page packages available.

It (http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#man) states:

  You can also get the latest man page information, including
  links to translations. You can email Andries Brouwer
  (aeb@cwi.nl) if you would like to help with, or have comments
  on the man pages.

His site is:

I have forwarded on your comments, Richard. Thanks.

best regards,
