OK, I found that works and am closing the bug. Maybe that should be
documented in emacs as at least working on Debian.

(I discovered it makes files inside my private man tree... the mandb page
perhaps isn't that clear about that.)

M-x man should consider $MANPATH when making completions. It (via
/usr/bin/man) finds the pages fine, but one must type them in without
any TAB completion help. The TAB completion should examine one's e.g.,
MANPATH=/usr/local/man:/home/jidanni/.spamassassin-tree/man: too.
