[Pkg-emboss-devel] Bug#427439: emboss: man pages still conflict

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Package: emboss
Version: 5.0.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #427439

While it's true that emboss's executables no longer conflict with
other (current) packages', emboss continues to ship conflicting man
pages:

$ apt-file search man1/cons.1
cons: usr/share/man/man1/cons.1.gz
emboss: usr/share/man/man1/cons.1.gz
$ apt-file search man1/pscan.1
emboss: usr/share/man/man1/pscan.1.gz
pscan: usr/share/man/man1/pscan.1.gz

One trick you can use here is to add a suffix such as "emboss" to the
conflicting man pages' sections; while man will still give priority to
the other packages' versions if both are installed, "man -a" will
bring up both versions.
