The applied bugfix in both 4.2.31 and 4.3.6 is incomplete, find.1 has been fixed but info manual has not.

This is http://bugs.debian.org/400936 reported by Mike Castleman:
-----------------
In the find(1) manpage, the description of the %b format specifier in the -printf command currently reads:

              %b     The amount of disk space used for this file in  512-byte
                     blocks. Since disk space is allocated in multiples of the
                     filesystem  block  size  this  is  usually greater  than
                     %s/1024,  but  it  can  also  be smaller if the file is a
                     sparse file.

While it is technically true that %b is usually greater than %s/1024, it is probably more useful to say here that it is usually greater than %s/512.
[...]
------------------------------------

This applies to both 4.2.30 and CVS head. Trivial patch against manpage and texi attached.
