[Bug 460261] [NEW] man pages have lines cut off

[Tamas Papp]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libblas-doc

Eg in DSYRK(3),

----- cut -----
NAME
       DSYRK - perform one of the symmetric rank k operations   C := alpha*A*A' + beta*C,

SYNOPSIS
----- cut -----

But NAME should continue - look at the Fortran source code, which has

----- cut -----
* DSYRK  performs one of the symmetric rank k operations
*
*     C := alpha*A*A' + beta*C,
*
*  or
*
*     C := alpha*A'*A + beta*C,
----- cut -----

I guess that the man pages are autogenerated and the script detects
boundaries wrong.  Likewise in the PURPOSE section of man pages.
