     Dear Anto,


     My personnal experience about running dpkg (generally through 
synaptic or apt-get), tells me that there must be something for this 
case. Almost everytime I install, remove or upgrade a package, there are 
messages saying something like "processing trigger man db" or the like. 
I understand this as a modification of the manual database according the 
packages installed/removed/upgraded. The package management is still 
largely a mystery for me, but I understand you are exploring it and you 
could find how this feature is working and use it to trigger 
'dpkg-reconfigure epoch'


     My 1 cent.
