The manpages sources are an internal implementation details. They are xml fed into docbook at the moment, but this is not a stable interface, and in fact we are likely going to change to a different format. So it is not advisable to build functionality to rely on them. If you really want to, you can fetch the source package using apt, but I recommend against it. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
