who is to blame when in emacs

Subject: Fixed upstream.

I have fixed this bug in the upstream code by removing the "L"
suffixes from the manpages (in the headers and in the
cross-references).

       implementations behave the same and the -I XSI extension documented in
       SUSv3/POSIX works like this, too.

     (Closes: #169730)
   * standards-version 3.6.1 (no changes required).
