The change below to terminfo.head, included in this patch, causes
"man --warnings" to complain about terminfo.head (and the final
terminfo.5):

<standard input>:84: warning: macro ```' not defined
<standard input>:84: warning: macro `''' not defined

 Terminal names (except for the last, verbose entry) should
 be chosen using the following conventions.
 The particular piece of hardware making up the terminal should
-have a root name, thus ``hp2621''.
+have a root name, thus \*(``hp2621\*(''.
 This name should not contain hyphens.
 Modes that the hardware can be in, or user preferences, should
 be indicated by appending a hyphen and a mode suffix.

And man no longer displays quotation marks around hp2621.
