_______________________________________________________
Details:
When building grub-2.00 in parallel, it is possible that the manpage is
generated for a utility script before grub-mkconfig_lib is generated. This
causes help2man to report that the --help option produced no output.
For example, the rules to create grub-reboot.8 may be processed before
grub-mkconfig_lib. Since grub-reboot sources grub-mkconfig_lib, this will
cause help2man grub-reboot to fail.
