I'm not a fun of this kind of change. I'm not sure if we need to
resolve this problem with an useless posix man page by a change in
util-linux upstream. It's the 1p man page what sucks and it's your
distribution that offers this man page to users.
For example RHEL/FC doesn't ship renice.1p, there is renice.8 only.
I have no clue about others distros -- any suggestion from Suse,
Debian, ... ?
