The man page is installed into a non-FHS standard directory.

Same distro, same mupen version, but:
In my case the manpage was installed directly under /usr/share/man (should be 
/usr/share/man/man6).

There are currently 2 ways of installing.  When installing from source, the 
mupen64plus-ui-console makefile ("make install") will copy the 'man' file.  
When installing the binary package, the install_binary_bundle.sh script will 
install the 'man' file.  I just looked at the latest source of both of these 
scripts, and they should both (by default) install to /usr/local/man/man6/.  
Should I change these to '/usr/local/share/man/man6'?

If you do this then please change the MANDIR variable to control only the root 
of the man directory e.g. MANDIR=/usr/man.

Could you please test whether it is not correct when using the Makefile?
