No I don't think that it's good idea. There's no point adding a bunch of
undocumented symlink to all missing man page for configuration file. :-)
I agree that having a man page for the configuration file is good but I
don't want to force Debian developers to write man page for each
configuration file that is not documented upstream. Furthermore some
configuration files are well documented but in a file in /usr/share/doc
and so on. There's no need to force the existence of a man page.
Cheers,
