On Raspbian I found it as /etc/manpath.config
It holds these entries currently (comments removed):

MANDATORY_MANPATH                       /usr/man
MANDATORY_MANPATH                       /usr/share/man
MANDATORY_MANPATH                       /usr/local/share/man

MANPATH_MAP     /bin                    /usr/share/man
MANPATH_MAP     /usr/bin                /usr/share/man
MANPATH_MAP     /sbin                   /usr/share/man
MANPATH_MAP     /usr/sbin               /usr/share/man
MANPATH_MAP     /usr/local/bin          /usr/local/man
MANPATH_MAP     /usr/local/bin          /usr/local/share/man
MANPATH_MAP     /usr/local/sbin         /usr/local/man
MANPATH_MAP     /usr/local/sbin         /usr/local/share/man
MANPATH_MAP     /usr/X11R6/bin          /usr/X11R6/man
MANPATH_MAP     /usr/bin/X11            /usr/X11R6/man
MANPATH_MAP     /usr/games              /usr/share/man
MANPATH_MAP     /opt/bin                /opt/man
MANPATH_MAP     /opt/sbin               /opt/man

MANDB_MAP       /usr/man                /var/cache/man/fsstnd
MANDB_MAP       /usr/share/man          /var/cache/man
MANDB_MAP       /usr/local/man          /var/cache/man/oldlocal
MANDB_MAP       /usr/local/share/man    /var/cache/man/local
MANDB_MAP       /usr/X11R6/man          /var/cache/man/X11R6
MANDB_MAP       /opt/man                /var/cache/man/opt

As far as I can see the entry /usr/local/bin   /usr/local/man is
already present. So I tried to see what was installed in
/usr/local/man:

address@hidden:~ $ ls -la /usr/local/man
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 9 Feb 26 01:57 /usr/local/man -> share/man

So it is a symlink! And it is empty:

address@hidden:~ $ ls -la /usr/local/share/man
total 8
drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4096 Feb 26 01:57 .
drwxrwsr-x 8 root staff 4096 Feb 26 02:28 ..

Confused, but I have to rush off for now. Back tonight.
