Just to clarify my remarks as it seems some people may have
misunderstood them: All I'm asking for is to include the proper manpages
in the "base" package. If building that manpage takes a huge toolchain
then either live with it or change the sourceformat of the manpage to
something that doesn't require using such a big toolchain. Splitting the
manpage out of the package is only valid in very rare cases - and this
isn't one of them.
