 It is in some way a "normal" issue, the default manpath points on
 4.7-RELEASE manual pages.  We talked about this problem on -doc some
 weeks ago.  We have 3 solutions:
 
 - The default manual page path should point on 5.0-RELEASE one.
 - We can provide a 4.X and a 5.X Handbook version.
 - We can use "specific" manual page entities for the 5.X's manual pages.
