I am in linux! :D A "debianesque" distribution.

The man page I had, it is installed with the bison 2.4.1, it is too
small and only about the command. I wanted the "extra" documention
similar to the pdf we see on that page. Now that I have built it, I
wonder: was the pdf here all the time? (...)  It is not. The folder
/usr/share/doc/bison has no PDF. (...) Examining with Synaptic, I
confirmed that the documentation is not installed.
