I would have probably went with

 -/usr/share/man/man8/*
 +/usr/share/man/man8/[a-y]*
 +/usr/share/man/man8/z[a-hj-z]*

which should have served the same purpose and has the advantage of less
maintenance effort.  But I'm perfectly fine with your choice.

Feel free to stick to your patch if this is your style.

Thank you in any case for your work and if you think its ready for
uploading (sponsering).

Kind regards
