6.1 Manual pages 

You must install manual pages in nroff source form, in appropriate places
under /usr/share/man. You should only use sections 1 to 9 (see the FHS
   ^^^                           FHS only defines 1 to 8; this may be an error
 

for more details). You must not install a preformatted `cat page'. 

The FHS has a section (4.8.2) on manual pages, which we ought to follow
if possible: <http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.0/fhs-4.8.2.html>
