Policy 3.* conforms to FHS 2, which says:
Manual pages for commands and data under /usr/local are stored in
/usr/local/man. Manual pages for X11R6 are stored in /usr/X11R6/man.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It follows that all manual page hierarchies in the system should have
the same structure as /usr/share/man. Empty directories may be
omitted from a manual page hierarchy. For example, if /usr/local/man
has no manual pages in section 4 (Devices), then /usr/local/man/man4
may be omitted.
Tschoeeee
