The intermediate steps are not useful. For example, after the first sed
script, we have changes like this:
diff --git a/man2/syscalls.2 b/man2/syscalls.2
index 7a7d6d730..979dba538 100644
--- a/man2/syscalls.2

Having ".BR chown (2)" sitting out there as unformatted text (because
macro calls have to _start_ an input line) is obviously not useful.
However, I did discover that the second script was a no-op! So I'm
dropping that (actually, replacing it) and will submit a v2.
