because the point of 'dlocate -man' is that you can run
man `dlocate -man package_name`
and view all the man pages for a package without having to type or
cut-and-paste their names.

precisely. if you just want a list of man page filenames, you can use
grep as above. no need for a command-line option for it.
what has any of this got to do with "duplicated man entries"? i see no
duplicates, or any evidence of them. just a misunderstanding of what the
'-man' option is for.
