Deleting this will break many downstream packages. The AUR page lists ten consumers. I suggest to contact the maintainers of those packages and ask them to remove `pod2man` from their dependencies, so this package can be removed. And yes, I agree that this package is basically pointless, but it would be better to first fix those packages.
