You are talking about partial upgrades from slink to
potato. For this, we can ask people to upgrade first to proposed
upgrades, which contain a fixed man-db package, or to edit
/etc/manpath.conf manually.
We do want to make partial upgrades smooth, but it is not
unreasonable to ask people to upgrade to proposed-updates before
doing paertial upgrades.
