Bug Description

Impact
======
gnome-keyring-daemon lacks a man page telling about the program and how to use it. It currently has only a place holder with virtually no information.

The gnome-keyring developer added a better manpage in 3.10 but this wasn't noticed by the Debian packages until 3.12. Therefore, this is just a packaging problem as the better manpage is already provided in the package source. This bug therefore affects Ubuntu 14.04 LTS but not 16.04 LTS.

Test Case
=========
$ man gnome-keyring-daemon

Does the manpage provide program options?

Regression Potential
====================
None. The gnome-keyring-daemon manpage in 14.04 LTS is so minimal as to be basically useless.

Hello Lars, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-keyring into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/3.10.1-1ubuntu4.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

After installing gnome-keyring 3.10.1-1ubuntu4.3 from trusty-proposed on Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.5, man gnome-keyring shows a much more complete manpage.
