In Aeon the system is immutable and shouldn't be touched. However, there are no man pages installed. This is not really user-friendly. But maybe it's on purpose to make sure people don't touch their base install? But even after doing `distrobox enter` and you download and enter the default distrobox, which is `registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/distrobox:latest`, I still don't get manual pages. This makes using the system harder than it should be. What's the reasoning to not include documentation? On production non-interactive containers I get why man pages are a waste of disk space. But distrobox is meant to be used as a normal user environment. In such an environment people expect to find man pages. Otherwise the system is in the way of getting things done. In contrast, Fedora Silverblue has the man pages installed in the base OS, but also in their default toolbox image. Which to me makes perfect sense. Humans are going to use those environment interactively. Googling/Ducking for man pages online would be weird and the `--help` output isn't always complete or fully helpful. Can man pages be included in Aeon and in the toolbox containers?
