Our packages just don't have the manpage as it is only -the "be help" text reformatted, the easy option is sometimes the right -one :) Also, I've just noticed that it has even less documentation in -the bzr tree[1] making its installation much less compelling unless your -packaging rules require a man page like Debians. - - Out of curiosity why is the Makefile being used for this stuff anyway? -It is going to make it difficult to build locally when we finally get -around to merging.
