kernel-manual-X.Y.Z packages



Hi,

        There is a problem with -doc packages as produced by
 kernel-package, in that two different versions can not be installed
 at the same time, since they contain secti0on 9 man pages, which thsu
 generate file conflicts.

        Since it may be desirable to have the doc packages installed
 at the same time, I am considering splitting off the man pages into
 kernel-manual-X.Y.Z (or linux-manual-X.Y.Z), which shall conflict
 with and provide kernel-manual (or linux-manual) virtual package. So,
 one may have multiple versions of kernel-doc installed
 simultaneously, but only one of kernel-manuals packages installed.
