Are there any relevant programs that do not support MANPATH and
INFOPATH?

For the transition period, have the default MANPATH and INFOPATH
include both new and old locations.  I believe this can be done by
modifying the /etc/<shell>rc files for all popular login shells.  This
shouldn't be a big problem.  It may be possible to do it at the init
level (thus involving only one package), but I haven't got the
slightest idea how.
