[Bug-wget] Bug#633702: simpleminded conversion from Info makes man page barfy looking

Package: wget
Version: 1.12-3.1
Severity: wishlist

Have you checked out the man page lately?
The simple conversion from Info leaves some atrocious junk. Have a slice:

       server response, save: see "HTTP Options", .        (line 217)

       session cookies: see "HTTP Options", .        (line 141)

       signal handling: see "Signals", .             (line   6)

       spanning hosts: see "Spanning Hosts", .      (line   6)

       spider: see "Download Options", .    (line 186)

Plus the entire GPL.
Also the whole list of boring contributors.
Yes I know GNU projects are supposed to have "different" looking man
pages, but this is the most "special" one I've yet seen :-(
