Comment (by Bryan Kadzban):
OK, I figured that was the idea, but it helps to know for sure. Thanks!
Something like this should work as well then (it also makes it a bit more
explicit what the critical part is: the existence of man1/vim.1 under the
language directory):
{{{
for i in /usr/share/man/*/man1/vim.1 ; do
ln -s vim.1 $(dirname $i)/vi.1
done
ln -s vim.1 /usr/share/man/man1/vi.1
}}}
That way we don't end up missing future vim.1 pages in different
directories.
I did, however, think up another solution to this whole loop thing late
last night (and forgot about it until now): depending on whether man-db
re-searches the man directories when it sees a ".so" include, it may work
to create a simple vi.1 wrapper:
{{{
echo '.so man1/vim.1' >/usr/share/man/man1/vi.1
}}}
But I have not tested this. I don't know if that .so will cause man-db to
include ru.UTF-8/man1/vim.1 if that's your locale, for instance, or if it
will use the unlocalized /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1 file instead. The
latter would be bad (or at least, worse than the fixed loop).
