smtpd in postfix is a private executable, so it has far less precedence than the one in smtpd. On the other hand, the postfix manpages are crucial to figure out what the hell a config option really does, so they are needed. I would suggest all postfix private executable manpages to be moved from section 8 to section 8postfix or something like that, if man-db will not mind the change in the filename from .8 to .8postfix... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
