[OE-core] Multilib conflicts in man pages.

Is there a preferred method in oe-core for dealing with man pages that 
conflict due to differences
in multilib pathing.

For example an application lives in /usr/lib/foo/bar for one abi but 
/usr/lib64/foo/bar in another, and
that kind of information is encoded in to the man pages.

Some things i have seen done in the past, is move the man pages under 
/user/share/man/${PN} or
use something like mutlilib script to deal with it.

I am just curious if there is a canned, preferred way the project 
handles those or wants to handle them?

xinit, xserver-org, and groff each exhibit  these issues.
