PLEASE HELP - We need a policy for preventing man page name conflicts

[Orion Poplawski <orion cora nwra com>]

Many packages provide man3 (and other) man pages with generic names. 
The case in question in ncarg-devel and allegro-devel which both provide 
man3/line.3.gz.  So, what do we do?

- package in /usr/share/<package>/man/?  If so, how to we update 
MANPATH?  How does man handle finding both (all) of the man pages?

- rename to something like <package>_<manpage>?  Do we always do this? 
Only if a file conflicts?  Is there an easy way to find conflicts before 
packaging?

- suffixes <manpage>.3<suffix> ?  Can man handle this?

Please help!
