Why is that a problem?
Because final file name is out of my control :-)
It is controlled by dh_installman and dh_compress
Both of them behave in a predictable, documented way.

Which solves your problem, doesn't it? And no, I don't think that's ugly
- it's a pragmatic workaround.

Does it make sense?
1. Extend d/xxx.manpages to form:
bar.1 foo.1
2. dh_installman will create symlink bar.1 -> foo.1
3. dh_compress will take care of symlinks, e. i.:
a) compress foo.1 to foo.1.gz (or whatever)
b) rm bar.1
c) create symlink bar.1.gz -> foo.1.gz
I remember such a thing in Sla

You should not use symlinks, but source pages such tasks [1].
Install a manpage like:
bar.1:
.so man1/foo.1

Why is that a problem?
If I write foo.1m in d/XXX.manpages, it results in foo.1M.gz (with
capital M) in a package.

dh_link will do.
For example: dh_link usr/share/
