What I was looking for is more the Linux kernel bpf manpage:

not sure why the freebsd manpages win in this case?

Thanks for your report!

bpf.4freebsd wins because it’s in jessie, whereas bpf.2 isn’t. Hence, the redirector first filled in the suite to jessie, then had only one choice left to hand out to you.

I’m not sure what we can do here, as this seems like an edge case (which will also solve itself with the next stable release).

If you have any ideas, please feel free to reopen.

Sure, if you’d like to discuss this, please open a separate issue.

understood, see #69 then
