Well, that would mean that "sdist" needs to be able to build the manual from the primary sources. Doesn't sound right to me, either. The whole problem is that when you have the right darcs checkout, you should be able to produce a bit-to-bit identical tarball by just issuing runghc Setup sdist. So, suggestions? As a temporary kind of measure, we could just call some make incantation from sdist. However please note that building darcs as part of the tarball build is out of question.
