So, is it a bug of a package to remove uncompressed manpages, because
upstream installs uncompressed as well as compressed manpages into the
system?
I can give you several more examples in packages, which you call "most
probably a bug": e.g. installation of KDE .desktop files, which is
done by macro in our distribution, but not from upstream.
Sure, we can comment those. But it's just about removing of
unneccessary files.
