Doh! Sorry, my fault. I should have explained better. The only
reason there's a DocBook version is that I hate writing nroff text
directly, editing XML is so much nicer. Debian Policy only requires
that programs have a man page, it doesn't specify the format.

(And now that I look, the .1 files don't even have a comment saying
that they were automatically generated from DocBook, I thought they
did...)
