Thanks, rescheduled for immediate upload.

Two notes regarding properly fixing it:
1. The Debian packages currently ship the prebuilt manpages from the
upstream tarball, doing a simple
rm doc/*/*.1 doc/*/*.3 doc/*/*.5 doc/*/*.7
in the clean target also removes some links that aren't regenerated
e.g. in libpmem-dev:
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_check_version.3.gz ->
../man7/libpmem.7.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_deep_drain.3.gz ->
pmem_flush.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_deep_flush.3.gz ->
pmem_flush.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_deep_persist.3.gz ->
pmem_flush.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_drain.3.gz -> pmem_flush.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_errormsg.3.gz ->
../man7/libpmem.7.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_has_auto_flush.3.gz ->
pmem_flush.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_has_hw_drain.3.gz ->
pmem_flush.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_map_file.3.gz ->
pmem_is_pmem.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_memcpy.3.gz ->
pmem_memmove_persist.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_memcpy_nodrain.3.gz ->
pmem_memmove_persist.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_memcpy_persist.3.gz ->
pmem_memmove_persist.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_memmove.3.gz ->
pmem_memmove_persist.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_memmove_nodrain.3.gz ->
pmem_memmove_persist.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_memset.3.gz ->
pmem_memmove_persist.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_memset_nodrain.3.gz ->
pmem_memmove_persist.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_memset_persist.3.gz ->
pmem_memmove_persist.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_msync.3.gz -> pmem_flush.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_persist.3.gz -> pmem_flush.3.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/share/man/man3/pmem_unmap.3.gz -> pmem_is_pmem.3.gz
2. The version of pandoc in Debian is less ancient than the one upstream
uses for the prebuilt manpages but it still has the problem, I haven't
tried more recent upstream versions of pandoc.
