I'm thinking at least 1 common man page per binary package. For example..
if you just create one common kdebase man page..and just install konqueror
you don't get the man page...
plus I also think that some binaries should have their own man page...
and other's will definatly need common man pages
kfmclient,konqueror,khelpcenter - all should have a common man page IMO
dcopserver, dcopidl,dcopidl2cpp,dcop - common probably
kbuildsycoca, cupsdconf, kdb2html - seperate man pages
kdeinit,kdeinit_wrapper,kdeinit_shell,kdeinit_shutdown - common
kcmnit, kdesu - seperate
*.kss - common
there are some examples of what I'm wanting...
