This seems like a good candidate for bugzilla:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=cygwin
The component for the bug would be "Cygwin Applications".

There's always the solution that base-files uses for replacing various
config files -- it checks whether the file is the same as the
default in
the preremove script, and erases it if so. Then the
postinstall script
copies the new default, and the config file is up-to-date. This won't
work if the users edited their config files, but should work in most
cases.
OK. I will submit a bug report suggesting that
/etc/preremove/base-files-manifest.lst be updated
to include /usr/share/misc/man.conf.
