It was already present in CSRG sources (admittedly not in ps.1, but
you'll find it in e.g. ps.c). See also indent(1):
‘Box’ comments. The indent utility assumes that any comment with a dash
or star immediately after the start of comment (that is, `/*-' or `/**')
is a comment surrounded by a box of stars. Each line of such a comment
is left unchanged, except that its indentation may be adjusted to account
for the change in indentation of the first line of the comment.
