Have you thought about using your system's package manager to get a
per-package structure?
$ dpkg -L ed | grep '/man..*/'
/usr/share/man/man1/ed.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/red.1.gz
Also some put each package in a section, e.g.
$ dpkg -s ed | grep '^Section:'
Section: editors
so if per-package was too fine a granularity you could have
per-(package-)section instead.
Cheers, Ralph.
