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.
