I agree with the fact that most of the man pages are already in English and all install in man/man[1-8]. Using .configure --mandir=/usr/share/man/en will *only* work for packages that do not come with man pages in other languages. So for the rest of the packages, some changes will need to be made to the Makefiles. It seems like too much work to accomplish too little. Indeed, it is the upstream developers who should try to conform to FHS. Also, I don't know if there are distros that are using a strict man/<locale> hierarchy. Still, I think conforming to standards is not a bad thing. I'll go ahead and toy around with relocating man pages, and report back in a couple of weeks.
