util-linux installs more.1 as an alternative for pager.1, but is not listed on https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/less/pager.1.en.html.
I guess it's because the package is essential?

You can learn more about how the alternatives integration works in #12

When I download https://piuparts.debian.org/for-manpages.d.o/sid.json.gz, I don’t see an entry for util-linux. Maybe you can take a look and figure out what’s wrong?

I don't believe piuparts ever tests installation of essential packages.
They are installed by debootstrap.

That would explain it. I suppose the set of essential packages doesn’t change much within each distribution release. Perhaps we can instrument debootstrap somehow and generate data files that we can then merge with what piuparts generates.

I don’t have time to work on this, so I’m relying on contributions.
