The above naming scheme is what I tried first.  I have changed the
manpage names to what you suggest and I still get the "no-manpage"
lintian error for coherence and applet-coherence but yet the manpages
are installed to the correct location.  Should I use the override file?
hmmm I wonder if this could be a possible bug in lintian?

I only get this error when running lintian on the .deb.  When I run
lintian on the source package (dsc, changes) I do not get this error.

Done

Cool
