Thanks very much for having another go at this.
I'm still not overly keen on postinstall/preremove scripts which modify
a configuration file belonging to another package, so I think I'm going
to defer to Achim on approving this.
Taking a step back, may I ask a couple of questions?
- Can this be done as a patch to man-db and/or groff?
(perhaps with a separate man-italic package which just contains a marker
file which enables the functionality?)
- (If different) how would this be done in an upstreamable way?
