Thanks very much for having another go at this.

I'm still not overly keen on postinstall/preremove scripts which modify 
a configuration file belonging to another package, so I think I'm going 
to defer to Achim on approving this.

Taking a step back, may I ask a couple of questions?

- Can this be done as a patch to man-db and/or groff?

(perhaps with a separate man-italic package which just contains a marker 
file which enables the functionality?)

- (If different) how would this be done in an upstreamable way?
