Manual page naming conflict creates ambiguity #1074

Describe the bug
The naming scheme for podman sub-command man pages creates a conflict when it comes to podman-compose because there is the sub-command and the underlying "provider". It yields this confusion: Debian vs upsteam. These two pages have the same name, in the same section of the manual, but they're talking about two different things: the podman-compose provider in the first case, and the podman compose sub-command in the second.

I have no suggestion for disentangling it, but the problem came up on the Discord server when a command told the user to go to the podman-compose(1) man page for a solution, but they got the first page linked above, which doesn't contain the solution. (The second one does.)
