Ok, that was in fact he reason. There are symbolic symlinks which point
backwards and which are broken but that arrangement.
First the correct way to do what I meant is with `mount --bind', not wiht a
symlink.
Second, I would argue that using backwards symlinks in man-db is not the most
robust way to organise a tree, and that should be avoided unless there are good
reasons to do that.
Thanks for your time and commitment
