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.
