I am missing an example (port or whatever) here. distutils does not
specifiy manpages on its own, so they are most likely installed by the
data_files target.
Usually, the proper handling would need to be done there or within an
own bsd.python.mk hook (ewww).
So much for the theory. Can you please provide an example port that
currently has issues with its manpages and staging?

Cheers
