bug#74205: man: dots and closing bracket in wrong order

Hello,

it doesn't harm but I always stumple when I read the SYNOPSIS in grep's man 
page where - in contrast to the usage message - the dots and the closing are in 
the wrong order compared to "all" other man pages:

$ man grep | head
GREP(1)                         User Commands                        GREP(1)

NAME
       grep, egrep, fgrep, rgrep - print lines that match patterns

SYNOPSIS
       grep [OPTION...] PATTERNS [FILE...]
       grep [OPTION...] -e PATTERNS ... [FILE...]
       grep [OPTION...] -f PATTERN_FILE ... [FILE...]

$ grep
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERNS [FILE]...
Try 'grep --help' for more information.

Best regards

Martin
