Many packages provide man3 (and other) man pages with generic names. The
case in question in ncarg-devel and allegro-devel which both provide
man3/line.3.gz. So, what do we do?
- package in /usr/share/<package>/man/? If so, how to we update
MANPATH? How does man handle finding both (all) of the man pages?
IMO, no. It's not worth the extra hassle.
- rename to something like <package>_<manpage>?

Do we always do this? Only if a file conflicts?
Yep.
Is there an easy way to find conflicts before
packaging?
Not that I'm aware. It should be rare enough that it can be handled on
a case-by-case basis.
- suffixes <manpage>.3<suffix> ? Can man handle this?
Another possibility, but I'm unfamiliar with that convention.
