We are talking about a buggy package (manpages-dev) that does not exist
anymore on the archive, is not in any stable release, and for which
there's a fix released in testing already.
So for starters serious here is way way out of proportion.
Even if libaio-dev was to drop the pages right now, there would still
be a period where upgrades can break, there's no way around this fact.
unstable and testing break from time to time, if you cannot cope with
that do not use them...

They have not moved yet, that does not make manpages-dev wrong,
neither libaio-dev. If manpages-dev did not have missed the Replaces
on the first place the overwritting issue would not have ever existed.

I strongly disagree, and as such I'm re-closing this now.
