OK, I just tried that, the path of course needs to be

/var/cache/man/index.db

and the file created must not be zero size or the current perpetual
install script won't trigger.

Also, that perpetual install script should run last, so it needs to be
named differently (my own local package names it zp_zzz_man-db.dash for
that reason).

Achim.
