I'm still not overly keen on postinstall/preremove scripts which modify a configuration file belonging to another package, so I think I'm going to defer to Achim on approving this. Taking a step back, may I ask a couple of questions? - Can this be done as a patch to man-db and/or groff? (perhaps with a separate man-italic package which just contains a marker file which enables the functionality?) - (If different) how would this be done in an upstreamable way?
