Thanks Guillem! Very clarifying. Changed to a minimal manpage. 

About contributing it upstream to a project like chromium, what are your 
thoughts? We can try, but I am not hopeful of the acceptance. So far in the 
packages that I am contributing just created it for the Debian package.

Continuing! As before, more changes may come as I verify full builds for all 
architectures.

Hi!

Using help2man for compiled programs breaks cross-compilation. And
adapting the packaging to support help2man and cross-building is IMO
not worth the supposed gain of using help2man, because it requires
doing a native and a host build to be able to run the program.

A static man page is superior in any possible way, also because just
using the output from --help tends to be not very useful anyway (except
for providing that output on the sites like manpages.debian.org).

Using help2man as a starting template to further fill in a static man
page seems like a good use for that tool though.

Thanks,
Guillem
