man-pages-XX packages come with pre-builded whatis databases so this is useless
and would slow down everybody's installation instead of just the package building.
what's more, these packages come with some cron entries that make the whatis db
to be updated every week.

The man pages are located in /usr/share/man but this script expects to write the
index to /usr/man by default. In addition, this tool should be run during the
installation so that the index is available when the system comes up.
