[latexrefman] If you want @LaTeX{}'s standard @code{\chapter} command to do this

[Vincent Belaïche]

Would this be OK  ? :

Add the line @code{\let\cleardoublepage\clearemptydoublepage} so as to
get all occurences of @code{\cleardoublepage} have this behaviour,
including those called by @LaTeX{}'s standard classes @code{\chapter}
command.
