I set something like that in my ~/.bashrc long time ago:

  man() {
    env \
    LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$(printf "\e[1;31m")        \
    LESS_TERMCAP_md=$(printf "\e[1;31m")        \
    LESS_TERMCAP_me=$(printf "\e[0m")           \
    LESS_TERMCAP_se=$(printf "\e[0m")           \
    LESS_TERMCAP_so=$(printf "\e[1;44;33m")     \
    LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$(printf "\e[0m")           \
    LESS_TERMCAP_us=$(printf "\e[1;32m")        \
    man "$@"
  }    
 
This used to make my manual pages to be colorized the way I like it.  But in
F20 it is not working.  I see that during rebase to man-db 2.6.4 there was
removed patch man-db-2.5.9-sgr.patch which was used to add '-c' option to
nroff.  That means, now I must add '-c' option to nroff in /etc/man_db.conf by
hand.

IIUC, this was pretty used trick for colorized manual pages.  Could we add the
patch back to make it work by default?  Or is there a better way to achieve
colorized manual pages?  (I see that reason for this patch was a little bit
different in history, see bug ##655385).
