Comment(by willimm):
Wow, took them a while. From analyzing the changelog:
* We no longer need the man-assertion patch, so that can be dropped.
* XZ compressed manpages are now supported, this is good for me, since I
sometimes do compress my man pages with LZMA/XZ.
* The footprint is slightly smaller (be sure to remeasure the disk space,
as always)
* Apparently Man-DB can now optionally use a external library called
Libpipeline instead of it's internal implementation. It's a CMMI package,
but why add this in when Man-DB can use it's own implementation? Well,
it's hinted that Colin will remove this in a future release, and it's
better to think ahead and put this in the book before the internal
implemtation is removed. As mentioned in the changelog,
http://libpipeline.nongnu.org/ is the homepage of that package.
This would be pretty decently easy to do, in my opinion.
