        Deferring the fix until a fixed version of Doxygen enters Debian
        doesn’t seem like all that good an idea.  Especially given that
        the correct placement of the files comprising a Debian package
        was conventionally (AIUI) the responsibility of debian/rules.

        If necessary, the .TH or .Dt *roff command (as used by
        dh_installman(1)) may be fixed (or added) with sed(1).
