Using --no-rename as the default optimizes for the wrong case, as that's
the exception, and while the safest option, it is needed only by packages
that are part of the pseudo-Essential set. It's also cumbersome for the
--local case.
We will emit a warning asking those to be explicit, so that we can switch
the default to --rename during the 1.20.x cycle.

Document its intended usage and how it differs from --rename.
This will make it possible to do a behavior switch during the 1.20.x
release cycle.

Instead of marking specific words as not hyphenable, depending on the
width of the output, which should not be considered stable. Or simply
the SEE ALSO section. Just disable hyphenation globally for the whole
man page.

This will make writting and translating the man pages easier.

This makes it possible to filter them and update several variable
strings such as system and package pathnames, the release date and
the dpkg suite version. And will make it possible to use UTF-8 in
the source and convert to the more conservative groff escape
sequences on the output.
