The thing is that the discussion started flipping towards why, if there is a binary symlink, there isn't a man page symlink? This could, in the case of cdrecord and wodim, or mkisofs and genisofs, end in bugtrack tickets for those packages, but I am more interested in a general solution, for all packages that have binary symlinks.
So, shouldn't there be something in respect of this issue in the packaging policy?
I support that (or the more or less AFAIK equivalent 'echo ".so man1/wodim.1"
cdrecord.1' approach as an alternative to symlinks). Could you write a
draft for that? I can take it onwards from there in the packaging committee.
