Arguably, the python 1.0 portgroup should be creating symlinks to the port's manpages, just as it already creates symlinks to its binaries. However changing it now would be difficult. If we fix this problem in the python portgroup, then all existing ports that use the python portgroup and install manpages would have to be audited: if they manually symlink the manpages, that code would have to be removed; if they don't, their revision would have to be increased to rebuild them with the new manpage symlinks from the portgroup.

Another possibility is to introduce a new python 1.1 portgroup that has this behavior, and then each port can opt into that behavior by switching to that portgroup. After all ports have switched, the old python 1.0 portgroup can be deleted. However it would probably take years to switch all ports.
