Erk. The manpages are built like that upstream, so splitting
them into a separate package is required, which… is irksome.

I’ve got another idea. Would you be willing to accept a
Debian-specific (but upstreamable) patch to generate the
manpages with a shell script I’d write? This looks to be
doable easy enough, given it’s just the two files in doc/
and that the -mdoc macropackage supports the semantic
markup used already.

If so I’ll provide it shortly.
