   the detach man page is linked to the attach man page (fine).  However,
   it no longer says anything about detach in the SYNOPSIS section.  It
   also doesn't list detach options anywhere.

I separated the two man pages, because as one man page it was getting
incredibly long.  Also, information about detach and attach was heavily
interwoven, and so it was much more understandable as two separate man
pages.

Thus, the problem is that the detach man page should _not_ be linked to
the attach man page.  A separate detach man page needs to be installed
when the system packs are built.
