yes... ncurses has a data-file which I developed along with configure/build scripting to install the manpages renamed for Debian's special case (man_db.renames). That data (along with manhtml.aliases) could be used in some as-yet-unwritten script to modify the manual pages as they are installed. Because Debian is the only organization that uses this feature (and looking at the change history, it's been more than 15 years since Debian reported minor errors in the data-file), it hasn't been worth generalizing further. If someone wants to spend (at least) a few days developing the script and contributes it (same license, etc), I can integrate it. -- Thomas E.
