An attempt at a patch that addresses the problem.

A declaration like

@groupdef mygroup My Group

generates a man page that displays as

NAME
       My Group -

This is badly formed and causes manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry warnings from
lintian.

See: http://lintian.debian.org/tags/manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry.html

A better and more compliant rendering would be:

NAME
       mygroup - My Group

An attempt at a patch that addresses the problem is attached.

I think this issue has been solved in the mean time (probably as of doxygen version 1.8.9) as the mentioned patch #213 has been merged
