man page symlinks on symlinked binary

- Subject: man page symlinks on symlinked binary
- Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 14:22:07 -0300
There was a discussion earlier today on the fedora-list related with the
fact that cdrecord doesn't have a man page. The person who made the
question didn't know that cdrecord is just a symlink to wodim, so that
man wodim would have given the man page he was looking for.
The thing is that the discussion started flipping towards why, if there
is a binary symlink, there isn't a man page symlink? This could, in the
case of cdrecord and wodim, or mkisofs and genisofs, end in bugtrack
tickets for those packages, but I am more interested in a general
solution, for all packages that have binary symlinks.
So, shouldn't there be something in respect of this issue in the
packaging policy?
