man-db 2.5.1 - some files get installed in libexec instead of lib directory

Description

In 2.5.0

man-db: manconv

the man-db directory and manconv got installed in /usr/lib

in 2.5.1

man-db: globbing manconv

they got installed in /usr/libexec now (globbing seems to be new in this release)

I would assume those files should go into /usr/lib/ and not /usr/libexec/ so I changed the configure call to:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-mb-groff --disable-setuid

which solved the problem for me.
