That's interesting.

The relevant page is this, no?
  http://www.qmail.org/qmail-manual-html/man3/error.html

The ideal situation is one where qmail doesn't ship a page called
"error.3" but rather "error.3qmail" or something besides "error"
entirely.  I have no particular confidence that this is obtainable.  I
don't think Joey will want to muck with diversions for this, and I don't
think that qmail-src (is that what you used?) will either.

It isn't clear to me what other name could possibly be given to the
error.3 manpage, since there is a glibc function called "error",
information about which I expect to see when I invoke "man 3 error".

manpages-dev *could* be set to "Replace: qmail" (or whatever the package
name is), but this doesn't really have the desired effect even if one of
the two packages were set to rename/drop the page for the next release..
