Comment:

 Arguably, the python 1.0 portgroup should be creating symlinks to the
 port's manpages, just as it already creates symlinks to its binaries.
 However changing it now would be difficult. If we fix this problem in the
 python portgroup, then all existing ports that use the python portgroup
 and install manpages would have to be audited: if they manually symlink
 the manpages, that code would have to be removed; if they don't, their
 revision would have to be increased to rebuild them with the new manpage
 symlinks from the portgroup.

 Another possibility is to introduce a new python 1.1 portgroup that has
 this behavior, and then each port can opt into that behavior by switching
 to that portgroup. After all ports have switched, the old python 1.0
 portgroup can be deleted. However it would probably take years to switch
 all ports.
