Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek fdbbee37d5 man: drop unused <authorgroup> tags from man sources
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.

Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.

<title>Description</title>
<para>The <filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> file configures
the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping and console font. It is
applied at boot by udev using <filename>90-vconsole.rules</filename> file.
You can safely mask this file if you want to avoid this kind of initialization.
</para>
<para>The basic file format of the
<filename>vconsole.conf</filename> is a newline-separated list of
environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is
possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however,
beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported,
allowing applications to read the file without implementing a
shell compatible execution engine.</para>
<para>Note that the kernel command line options
<varname>vconsole.keymap=</varname>,
<varname>vconsole.keymap_toggle=</varname>,
<varname>vconsole.font=</varname>,
<varname>vconsole.font_map=</varname>,
<varname>vconsole.font_unimap=</varname> may be used
to override the console settings at boot.</para>
<para>Depending on the operating system other configuration files
might be checked for configuration of the virtual console as well,
however only as fallback.</para>
