Package: man-db
Version: 2.5.2-3
Severity: normal

Mike Frysinger of Gentoo reported:

  - i seem to recall man-db not supporting '.so' search paths correctly:
       - man/man5/foo.5:.so moo.5
       - man/man5/foo1.5:.so man5/moo1.5
       - man/man5/cow.5:.so man1/pig.1

The latter two forms are supported, but the first isn't. I don't know of
a standard for this, but we could either look in the same directory as
the including file, or we could do some kind of more complete search
through all manual page hierarchies.
