I'm not sure what to do about these. I plan to keep the ladr and
prover9-manual version numbers synchronised although I can foresee
problems if I need to bump the debian revision number. Perhaps I should
use (>= <current version of the other package at time of packaging>)
and update manually?

-doc is the binary package name and conforms with the majority of manual
packages out there [1] whereas -manual is the original tarball name to
be preserved. I apparently used the wrong title for the bug; now changed.
