It would probably be better to change the configuration file as well,
since otherwise it's hard for the user to specify which man page they want
to see.  That avoids the file conflict, but there's still a conceptual
conflict; it pushes the burden to the user.

I suspect there aren't that many people using the radius authenticator and
renaming the configuration file wouldn't have that much impact.  But yes,
we would want to rename it during innupgrade as well.
