        OK, so according to that, defoma-reconfigure being in man1 (and
/usr/bin) is a bug, because nobody but root can use it?

        I should have been more clear I guess. I am upstream in this case,
and I'm about to start writing documentation. Based on your advice I think I
will put it in man8, but install the binaries into /usr/bin, since www-data
should run them for database backup/recovery.

        Thanks,
                Tyler
