# find /usr/lib64/erlang/man/ | wc -l 649
See bug 189639. Do you disagree with the reasoning there?
Ah, that's quite unconventional. Would a symlink solution work here? If so, from where to where?
I don't think that will work. Also, if you read the other bug, I think the point is that this is not how the Erlang man pages are intended. They really are supposed to be an entirely different documentation system, only incidentally using the same format (man).
I will not be maintaining erlang anymore, sorry. If you can contribute, please work with the proxy maintenance team.
I also see other distributions providing man pages there and not moving to the usual location. This looks to me like an upstream issue
