I'm sure there are. Can you be more specific? I suspect I might fix a
different set of problems than you found ;).

I'm not sure if removing that would be "doing too many things at once";
it is in the current man page. But maybe that was an oversight?

Currently the symlink to notmuch-dump.1.gz is installed at runtime. I
agree this is a bit inconvenient for testing; I think it should work to
have symlinks in the source just for the convenience of testers.

I guess notmuch-setup is a UI convenience mainly for people who want to
re-run setup. It doesn't feel as natural to me to run notmuch without
arguments in this case. I couldn't really justify that, though.
Thanks for the review,
