Yeah, when I tried to build it locally, it failed due to files that are
present in the source package but missing from Git.  I had to manually
generate the PDF docs, and the additional changes were me trying to
automate that process.  However, while the modified commands ran fine on
my testing box and in a testing schroot, they broke spectacularally in the
unstable schroot.  After several hours of adding more build dependencies
to try and make it work, I eventually gave up and just included the PDF I
built locally in the source package.  

If you'd like, I can revert back and generate a more minimal NMU.

As long as it gets fixed!
