Hiho,
I've noticed another side effect introduced by http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/da340169d6518cf42f1cbe169fbf120..., and I'm not sure if its intentional, or if its a bug.
It's intentional, in the sense that the manpages should go along with the corresponding binary. So the wine manpage is installed when the wine binary is installed, which in a wow64 setup means on the 32-bit side (arguably we should also have a wine64 manpage installed on the 64-bit side).
When both builds end in the same package (like on Archlinux) this doesn't matter, however there are plenty of distributions which ship the 32-bit and 64-bit parts in different packages. Having a few manpages in one and the rest in the other is at least a bit unusual, but could also lead to package conflicts.
I'm not sure I understand why it would be a problem to have the 32-bit package install manpages. What issues do you see?
Main issue is that the x86_64 package does not install the "wine" manpages, as the binary is called wine64.
Not a big issues, it can be worked around.
Ciao, Marcus
