I (and Debian) consider it critically important to build binary from the

An upstream-side alternative it to replace ronn with pandoc, or any other
alternative.
Upstream side answer: pandoc brings MUCH more external dependencies that
ronn. So if ronn is a problem, pandoc will be a BIG problem.
Actually, I don't see a lot of benefits from recompiling man page during
packaging, and one disadvantage: ronn sets man page date to the current
date at the moment of compilation, which will make a wrong illusion that
Debian comes with the newer version of the man page, that any other distro.
