It was.

Man puts a preprocessed copy of /usr/man/man1/*.1 pages in /usr/man/cat1/
when it displays them.  I had to delete cat1/intro.1.gz before man would
look at the version of intro.1 I copied from the source package into man1/.
Cygwin-doc may need to delete its files from cat1/ in its postinstall
script; man will update the cat1/ file automatically if the file in man1/ is
newer, but that may not be true if someone reads a manpage after cygwin-doc
is updated and before they install the new version.

# This should do what is necessary:
pkg=cygwin-doc
for i in $(gzip -dc < /etc/setup/$pkg.lst.gz | sed -ne
's,/man1/\(.*\.1$\),/cat1/\1.gz,p')
do
    if [ -f "/$i" ]; then
        rm -f /$i
    fi
done

Both gzip and sed are in the Base package, so they should be present.
