I've finally done this for man-db 2.5.4, and indeed now that the proper
infrastructure is in place it turned out to be really easy:

Add option to disable hyphenation (Debian bug #166701).
* src/man.c (options, parse_opt): Accept --no-hyphenation. Reset
corresponding variable with -D.
(disable_hyphenation): New function.
(display): Append disable_hyphenation to the decompressor pipeline
if --no-hyphenation is used.
* man/man1/man.man1 (SYNOPSIS, Controlling formatted output):
Document --no-hyphenation.
Thanks for the idea,
