[To hoist more context out of subsequent mails: this is on macos, but
the destdir is on a case-sensitive filesystem.]

Do you actually have those files?  They are long since obsolete, so I
would like to understand how this was triggered on a system that
doesn't have them to begin with.  I did touch this area of postinstall
quite a while back, b/c exact-case checks were horrible for slower
diskless systems, so I restricted it to just "Darwin".  From a quick
glance to refresh my memory, that change should not have affected your
case and I don't immediately see how the above could have been
misdetected, so I'd like to get a better understanding of what's going
on.

Independent of all of the above - your proposed change seems
fundamentally right.  (Moreover, I think all obsolete man pages should
have probably been marked with the ".man" keyword to do the right
thing for the old systems that were built with compressed manpages.)
