What are port maintainers supposed to do about the manpages in
${PREFIX}/man/cat when the package is about to be removed?

Two problems:
1) I can't add it to PLIST, because it may not exist when the package
   is being deleted.
2) Rather a man(1) problem, when my port installs a compressed manpage
   (MAN1 port Makefile variable) the file that ends up in cat/ is
   still foo.1.gz.

What to do?

Martin
