Preferably in the mdoc stuff, but maybe in the bsd.*.mk stuff. Either way, only the entry name (eg, "EJECT") and manual section number (eg, "1") would be used; other title junk would be ignored and standard manual section titles would be used. (I see that ".Dt" is not the only title macro in use. The grub manpage uses a quite-different ".TH"; from another set of macros, I suppose.)
