Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.142
Severity: minor

In the initramfs-tools(7) man page:

       Both /usr/share/initramfs‐tools/scripts and /etc/initramfs‐
       tools/scripts contains the following subdirectories.

where the dashes are U+2010 HYPHEN. This is incorrect and breaks
copy-paste. The character should be U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS.

Ditto in some other places in this man page and other man pages
from initramfs-tools-core.
