The groff in 3.4-stable is out of date.  Specifically, it's version
1.11, while 1.12 has the Y2K bugs allegedly fixed.  Current documents
using ms and the \*(DY string (current date) do some time travel.  You
can see this with:

$ groff -ms -Tascii <<END
> .pl 1i
> \*(DY
> END
<standard input>:2: warning: `cov*first-page-init' not defined

Should I submit a PR on this?
