I'm not sure there's too much we can change in our rpms,
since we want these to work on "older" systems too (ie.
systems which use /usr/man and do not have /usr/share/man
on the default man search path).
What I might do though is change the default location to
install to. Currently, if we cannot make an educated guess
as to the correct location, we fall back to /usr/doc (this
is whats biting the Mandrake folk, I'll bet). Instead, it
seems like guessing at /usr/share/man is the right thing to
do, with so many distros starting to follow the fhs now.
cheers.
