The latter isn't an argument, I'd note, more an observation of fact. The
rest of the world doesn't have to follow Debian policy, and we can
change it if we think it's a good idea to do so. (Not that I think that
in this case, as 'apt-cache show man-db' should indicate.)

ISTR speaking to him about it once myself, but can't remember the
outcome. Did you get anywhere?
The GNU project's attitude to man pages is one of the reasons why I
decided that man-db should not be a GNU package, the other being that
copyright assignments would be a headache since one of the former
maintainers is dead.
