Description:
The nroff source of ps.1 lacks indention.
It's done on purpose:

> .\" Setting them to zero provides extra space, but only do that for
> .\" plain text output. PostScript and such will remain indented.

It's the only man page having this "feature". Indentation should be added
for the sake of consistency. The fix is really easy, just comment out
l24-25 like this:

> .\" if n .nr IN 0n
> .\" if n .nr an-prevailing-indent 0n
