Don't Andy's and Jan's words here contradict with regard to creating a man user?

This was my mistake. I had cp'ed the install file from the community pkg and missed make my changes before the commit.
So a -2 pkg is now up for signoff. I removed the unwanted man user creation. Added a msg for anybody upgrading from 2.5.3-1 and earlier to remove the user and change permission on the db dir. The cronjob runs in quiet mode now. Added a backup array for its config file. Now it should be ready to move.
Anything else to improve?

I haven't tried the -2 pkg yet , but I noticed that with man-db I don't have coloured man pages anymore when using 'less' as the pager. To get coloured man pages, I need to use 'most' as pager. Is there anyone else who has this problem? It might be caused by a lack of a feature in man-db (I can't see why it would be the case) or a config issue. I haven't spent much time looking it up as it's a minor thing and works with 'most' although I would prefer 'less'.

If man-db becomes the default man reader, should we use most as the default pager, or export GROFF_NO_SGR=1 by default?
I would be better to export GROFF_NO_SGR=1 by default. 'most' is in extra so I guess we'll need to move it to core if it's the default pager. Most people probably use 'less' as we already have it in core.
