Hi,

I'm new to Debian packaging. For my package limereg two bug reports were generated, telling me that 'multiarch = same' is void because some man files differ between i32 and i64. When I look into the .diff, that is attached to the bug report, I see different creation-date entries. The man-pages are auto-generated during the packaging, and the content is the same for i32 and i64, but the date of the generation (which is included in the manpage output) differs.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792624
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792625

Is it necessary to fix this ? The creation date of the man-page isn't that important I guess ...

If not (unnecessary to fix): Can I just close the bug and underlign that the content of the manpage is equal between both architectures ?

If yes (necessary to fix): As upstream I could consider removing man-autogeneration from automake, and add pre-generated files to the source-tarball instead. The manpage-generation adds an annoying dependency to help2man and doxygen anyway, which people don't need that only want to install an unpatched version from the source-tarball.

Thanks :)

Regards,
Roelof
