Okay. I am creating an account now. And now it is Bug 639.

Since the man pages were installed, it seemed redundant.
But maybe splitting into a complete separate tiff-docs package would be
better. Thanks.

The default use of "man TIFFstrip" didn't work on a NetBSD system until I
copied the file to a filename with just .3 extension. (I didn't look at
any man options or configurations.)

Maybe it is not a real problem, but since the default doesn't work here,
it would be a convenience.

Filed as Bug 640.
