Comment (by jerryyhom@…):

 If anyone still cares about this issue, the following might be just
 stating the obvious.  After a bit of digging, openssl installs man pages
 in man{1,3,5,7} and shadows several pages.  Considering that MANPATH is a
 convenience to access collections of man pages, adding symlinks would
 break the boundaries of a collection and probably is not the right thing
 to do.  Renaming man pages might be confusing except to gentoo users.
 Using -M reinforces the idea that the user (must) knows which collection
 to look in.
