courier-imap & Debian manpages | Re: New releases of courier, courier-imap, and maildrop packages

Hi!

  From https://www.courier-mta.org/install.html:

"You will have to configure your man command to look for manual pages in 
/usr/lib/courier/man by adding this directory to the MANPATH environment 
variable. (...) The Courier mail server's RPM and DEB packages install a 
script that automatically implements that."

- Looks to me like it shouldn't do that:

# manpath
manpath: Warnung: $MANPATH ist gesetzt, ignoriere /etc/manpath.config
/usr/lib/courier-imap/man

With this set none except the courier manpages are available.

Package courier-imap contains two scripts:

/etc/profile.d/courier-imap.csh
/etc/profile.d/courier-imap.sh

I removed them and unset MANPATH to regain access to the common manpages.

I believe what the package should do instead is to add a line to 
/etc/manpath.config:

   MANDATORY_MANPATH                        /usr/lib/courier-imap/man
