This discussion is running into circles. GNOME, Xfce and KDE maintainers all explained that we have no interest in working on manual pages, and our upstreams don’t either. Those who are nostalgic of the time when a text-only documentation system was enough keep repeating ad nauseam “but we need manual pages”. At this point of the discussion, this should be clear: either you do whatever it takes to have your precious manual pages in all Debian packages, either you don’t. And if you don’t, I would appreciate that you just STFU instead. Maintainers who are already overloaded are not here just to take orders from others. I will personally just sit on policy §12.1, mark manpage-related bugs as wontfix, and, to plagiarize Yves-Alexis, it won’t prevent me from sleeping at night. Topic is closed. -- .''`.
