I’m thus marking the bug as fixed there (so it would be archived
when the current stable won’t be supported anymore.)

… However, I don’t seem to understand the choice of either
location. Isn’t it customary to use /usr/share/man for
everything in Debian, possibly adding appropriate suffixes to
the filenames, as in: readline.3readline.gz, TIFFsize.3tiff.gz,
Encode::Unicode.3perl.gz, and thus, presumably, floor.3avr.gz,
random_r.3avr.gz, etc.?
Going this way, there’s no need for any MANPATH tweaking, and
even the manual page browsers that are not based on man(1) (such
as Emacs’ woman.el) will just work “out of box.”
