I did some grepping for /usr/man in hamm upstream sources. I have a
list of 16 suspicious packages - I'll have to check them manually -
including xcontrib (xman) and xwpe, which revert to a hardwired path
if MANPATH is not set. man2html and dwww are also suspects. I
haven't yet checked their Debian diffs, it may be that some of this
has been corrected there.
I'll have to grep for /usr/info sometime. But over NFS it takes some
time to grep through whole hamm, so I'll have to have a quiet moment
to do that.
When I have a proper list, what do you think, should I post it here?
Should I post bug reports? Should ´I do something :-)
