freebsd-manpages conflicts with manpages-dev (fixed in debian)

Binary package hint: freebsd-manpages

The freebsd-manpages package shipped with Hardy conflicts with the manpages-dev package (it also unnecessarily forces the removal of the fdutils pacakge). When you attempt to install freebsd-manpages this happens:

ppannuto@purpleparrot ~ $ sudo apt-get install freebsd-manpages

This bug is an upstream bug, and is fixed in debain ( bug 367182: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=367182 ), but the fix needs to get propagated down to hardy now; this shouldn't wait until ibex to be fixed.
