Thanks for pointing this out.

As the INSTALL.rst notes, if you're building from the source repository 
(and not a source distribution tarball) you need to have py-docutils 
installed to build the man pages.

There's some Automake logic that hides the man page build rules if 
rst2man is not available. We hid those so that end users without 
docutils should never run into a build error.

The proper fix might be to unconditionally keep the rule in the 
Makefile, but rely on the fact that `make dist` will include the 
prebuilt man page with the correct timestamp.

Best,
Kevin
