 Yes, at least some of this was done deliberately back in 2002, when
 two of the man pages were moved out from under i386, specifically.
 Coincidentally, I was looking at this as well last week, but hadn't
 done anything because (aside from time) I wasn't sure if there would
 need to be any discussion about adding a second means of port-specific
 man pages, since there are already the distinct sub-directories under
 man8 in play. I agree it's pointless to have some of this stuff
 installed everywhere.
