It works only by chance. If ld-elf.so.1 was in section 2 for example,

Well, I don't want to discriminate against manpages named foo.1 in section 2, certainly. :-) On the other hand, I would argue that if the actual file is named /usr/share/man/man2/foo.1.2, having "man foo.1.2" work is not such a bad thing.


I won't disagree if you claim that "man foo.1" should continue to work as before, however, even if it does seem ambiguous what should happen if there was also a "foo" manpage in section 1.
