Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
In the dircolors(1) man page (and other ones for long command names)
of GNU coreutils 8.30, as output in a 80-column terminal, one has
REPORTING BUGS

and

or available locally via: info '(coreutils) dircolors invocation'
Two of the URL's are split on two lines, making them difficult to
follow.
The corresponding dircolors.1 file contains:

and

The issue may come from the fact that the URL's are not marked up as
such. http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/groff_man.7.html mentions
macros for hyperlinks. Thus this might be the solution...

.UR macros do work, though are not universally available.
The attached takes the simpler approach of ensuring
the lines are short enough for an 80 column display,
for displaying 8 and 9 character command names.
