I was thinking about the possibility of offereing _all_ Debian documentation on a web site --- which lpr(1) man page would you want to show? lpr's or lprng's? I think it should be possible to have both available, but I'm not quite sure how to do it without confusing people. Perhaps man pages should really go in /usr/doc/package-name/man/, with symbolic links for /usr/man if needed --- then there wouldn't be as much of a problem, since /usr/doc/lpr/man/lpr.1 and /usr/doc/lprng/man/lpr.1 can both be installed without conflicting.
