I think this is worth fixing -- perhaps not because the "legal notice" page itself is terribly important to carry forward, but rather because a fix would presumably also fix the pg_xlogdump -> pg_waldump ones, which have the same problem and from a user's point of view are more critical.
Those are really two different things.
The easiest way to fix the one that Daniel reported would be to just make it have the same name as before, wouldn't it? That would also automatically fix any other cases that would possibly link to LEGALNOTICE. (AFAIK this is the only file that was caps before)
Turns out that adding the capability to do aliases was a lot easier than I thought :) I've added an alias for legalnotice and also for pg_receivewal, pg_resetwal and pg_waldump so far.
Do we have some more docs pages where we need to do that?
