Comment 7 for bug 528020

What I wrote was not contradictory. Please try to remember that many Ubuntu users configure software sources in addition to the official Ubuntu ones. (That's what PPAs are all about, after all.) Therefore, a spurious man page installed by an Ubuntu source can and will conflict with a proper man page installed by another source.

Since you mentioned it, there absolutely are machines that still use that driver. I know of one less than five minutes away from where I'm standing right now. (Perhaps you live such an affluent life that you can afford to replace all your computers every year or two, but not everyone has that luxury.)
