There's one use case I can think of where overriding a "binary-without-manpage" is fine: if the executable isn't supposed to be used by the end-user, only as an external command called from the application itself. I had to do this with "pythonpy"[1], as it uses an executable called "pycompleter" to provide its bash-completion feature. Can't say if this is what is happening here, as I didn't reviewed the package. Anyway, I guess worth mentioning this kind of corner cases as an exception for a rule. Regards, Tiago.
