Without further ado, the following was found:

Issue:    double space before "after"
I can't see that.  Can you please check?

"The contents of I</etc/motd> are displayed by B<login>(1)  after a "

I see the double space in our po file, but I cannot deduce how it is
created there, maybe a po4a artefact?
Possibly; if you report a bug to the po4a, feel free to CC me.

So please disregard this issue, I mark it accordingly for our

Yes, maybe a bug in po4a… Currently, the line break after ".BR login
(1)" obviously causes the double space. Without further digging into
the Po4a sources, I found a workaround for this. See the attached
patch. But it is based on the Git repo of manpages-l10n, so it cannot
be applied directly. It's quite simple; you'll see what I mean.

Cheers,
Mario
