In [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/7.8/chapter06/shadow.html LFS 7.8 ""6.25. Shadow-4.2.1""],
passwd.5 of the shadow package overwrites already installed passwd.5 of the man-pages package.

However,
it's hard for LFS readers to judge whether this overwriting is intended or not,
because there is no supplementary explanation about overwriting in this page.

Therefore, I suggest installation of passwd.5 of the man-pages package is prevented.

If this suggestion is not acceptable, I think at least it would be better to add supplementary explanation that overwriting passwd.5 is intended.

As far as I have found in the BLFS book at present, 
there are following pages that contain the supplementary explanation about overwriting files.

(Find in page with the keyword ""overwrite"".)
