makewhatis does not like geoiplookup

I installed the new geoip package announced today. Then I did
/usr/sbin/makewhatis -w
For some reason, the "database" /var/cache/man/whatis did not pick up
any of the geoip executables: geoiplookup, geoipupdate, etc.
The "man" pages for these executables are in place:
/usr/share/man/man1/geoiplookup.1.gz
etc.
My MANPATH environment variable is
/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/man::/usr/ssl/man:/usr/X11R6/man
Other man pages in /usr/share/man/man1 do show up in the whatis
"database," such as basename(1).
I realize that this is not a major issue, but I would like to
understand how the "man" software works in this case.
