You need a more recent bersion of help2man than what is in lsb-release. What
we do in the development version of the book is:
- do not install help2man from lsb-release (or r.
Then help2man is not used in pango. And the man page for "pango-view" is
installed manually:
install -vm 644 ../pango-view/pango-view.1.in /usr/share/man/man1/pango-view.1
