Actually the name of the package is not changed, it is set to "fvwm" in
configure since cvs was started in 2.1.0, so we have fvwm-x.y.z.tar.gz.

I think what you suggest is a good idea, but first we should give some
time for people to update their setups. For example, I choose all 37 man
pages from a menu (well, this is in fvwm-themes); FvwmScript-Setup95 does
the same thing, it is patched to use "man fvwm", but existing users would
stay without the man page unless it is symlinked.

Another idea is to copy a man page, but add a WARNING at the top of the
copied version saying "to get rid of this warning, use the real man page".
I may do either thing for 2.6.0.
