I'm not sure how this comes about. The man directory is in my local
sources and I see it in the web cvs. Do you use HEAD instead of the
stable branch by any chance?

BTW I'm in the middle of exploring a switch to XML for the manual. I'd
like to build the man pages from DocBook sources which I can reuse in
the manual, thus avoiding code duplication. I've tested doclifter for
a few manpages with good results. I need an XSL customization layer to
transform the manual, but the result seems to be ok. I use xsltproc
for the transformation. Is there anything that I should watch for
regarding compatibility issues with Debian?

regards,
Markus
