Sorry for being late, but I read debian-user-digest ...
I have also missed a post with a script, I suppose as reading Bernd's
reply on debian-devel.

the manpage for whatis says:
To produce an old style text whatis database from the relative
index database, issue the command:
whatis -M manpath -w '*' | sort > manpath/whatis
where manpath is a manual page hierarchy such as /usr/man.
The command /usr/bin/whatis and its manpage are installed by the 'man'
package.
The most recent version is rex/binary-i386/doc/man_2.3.10-13.1
I'm very sorry to say that the whatis manpage (in german) installed by
manpages-de (and also the italian one :-( ) refers to a different
version and is to be considered WRONG. I'll raise some bugs.
Hope that this helps.
