Done for the future man-db 2.5.4:

Fri Dec  5 13:52:14 GMT 2008  Colin Watson  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        Make it possible to override man's default of discarding stderr when
        stdout is a terminal (Debian bug #480996).

        * src/man.c (discard_stderr): Make static.
          (maybe_discard_stderr): New function, checking MAN_KEEP_STDERR.
          (format_display_and_save, format_display, display_catman): Use
          maybe_discard_stderr.
        * man/man1/man.man1 (ENVIRONMENT): Document this.
