I have a manpage that starts with a "Hey, EMACS:" line [0], which is how
the example files is created when following the Debian new maintainer's
guide.
distutils-extra considers a file that matched '*.[0123456789]' as a
valid man page only if it starts with the string ".TH " [1]. This
results in that manpage to not be automatically recognized, and has 2
consequences:
- You need to add a line in MANIFEST.in with "include doc/*"
- The file appears in the list printed after "WARNING: the following files are
not recognized by DistUtilsExtra.auto" (even though the file is covered by
MANIFEST.in, just reported bug 893335)
Maybe the check to see if the file is a valid manpage should do something like
this:
if line.startswith('.TH ') or line.startswith('.\"'):
