I would be inclined to leave the man pages as they are, but add a
comment in them to the effect that the file might be moved if the
packages were built by hand (or something).

Anyone who changes the file location either
1) knows what they are doing or
2) is packaging, and has to take responsibility for that themselves.
 (yes I know ...)
