I'm not sure about this, but if FHS uses /usr/share/man, shouldn't we then
also search in /usr/local/share/man, for symmetry reasons ? Currently,
manpath.config *only* has /usr/local/man, but no /usr/local/share/man, while
it has both /usr/man as well as /usr/share/man.

Source: man-db
Binary: man-db
Architecture: source i386
Version: 2.3.17-1
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Fabrizio Polacco <fpolacco@debian.org>
Description:
man-db - Display the on-line manual.
Closes: 61058 62844 63497
Changes:
man-db (2.3.17-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Corrected apparent disappearing of option -e in apropos.
* Corrected wrong usage of undocumented option -X which produced error
when passed to filters. This is now parametrized as optional
argument, defaulting to use devX75. Documented in usage :
-X = -TX75, -X100 = -TX100, -X100-12 = -TX100-12.
* Applyed patch submitted by Tomohiro KUBOTA:
* roff_device and LESSCHARSET are determined by user environment rather
than language of manpage for English manpage.
* roff_device "ascii8" is used for non-English/non-ISO-8859-1 languages.
Tomohiro KUBOTA <kubota@debian.or.jp> Sat, 22 Apr 2000 14:48:48 +0900
closes: #62844.
Because of this patch, changed versioned dependency to new groff.
* Added new check for libdb in configure.in
* Added /usr/local/{share/}man to config file, due to bug in FHS,
thanx to Gregor Hoffleit. Closes: #61058.
* Added new message catalog po file for cs (czech) (4 new messages),
thanx to Vladimir Michl.
* tired of people continously complaining that man behaves differently
than in RedHat (which is "The Reference Linux", you all know that),
I'll add tbl as default filter for man. This will fix those three
or four manpages that do not take the burden to declare their
dependency on the tbl formatter (usually because upstream uses
RedHat and so ...). Now what would I do if someone fill a bug
against this because of wasting of CPU cicles for un-necessary
filtering on the hundreds of pages that do not need tbl? I would
certainly agree with them. Therefore I will fix this introducing
scanning of manpages a la grog in mandb, and storing the result in
the database. ...[noise of hacking and debugging]... Well, I did
it (use accessdb to see it!). It took 4 weekend (stolen to the
implementation of man 2.4) to complete and debug. Now you can
announce the world that man-db 2.3.17 knows in advance which filters
to run when processing a manpage which is in the database.
This rant closes: #63497; be happy!:wq
