You also need to modify src/etc/mtree/*. Then you will probably find that installing packages changes the ownership of the catpage directories back to root, unless the packages are old. People without local changes will probably find that installing old packages changes the ownership of the catpage directories back to man :-). I'm used to installing packages clobbering my policy of not having any catpage directories.
