In pretty much all Linux setups, the (1p) category is searched

the POSIX version rather than the Linux version. Dropping a
renice(1) in that redirects to renice(8) helps out users.
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, ... ?
renice(8) is bogus, though. renice is a user-accessible command (albeit
with limitations), and really belongs in (1).
