Would it be appropriate for the PostInstallLast part of setup which "updates info dir" to also run makewhatis? And perhaps even updatedb?
Very unlikely. These are quite massive processes in contrary to _update-info-dir
Maybe detached in the background.
Or if someone writes an updatewhatis which gets the filelist of the new man files.
Same for updatedb which should accept a new argument for the package MANIFEST to be merged into.
