I agree, 2 sets of documentation sucks.

I agree on both counts. I put the man page into my book, and printed a
version of the Info documentation. The info documentation is not
readable in printed form, in my opinion. Most of it seems to read like
a reference manual (here's the list of X in alphabetical form) rather
than a tutorial or introduction (here's how you do X).
I think screen has an excellent man page; despite being two different
docs I think I'd rather keep it and expand on it. Most GNU man pages
are bad and tell the user to go read the info documentation.
