I've seen this issue in various places now (CC'd).
We should probably reinstate distribution of man pages
since these generated pages are so similar on various systems.
Also given the amount of old ChangeLogs removed recently
I don't think the addition of 273K (uncompressed) is prohibitive.
The attached was tested in these modes:
git repo build
tarball build with/without help2man
tarball vpath build with/without help2man
make distcheck
make install (and ensure only enabled program man pages installed)
I've not applied this yet, but hope to soon after a bit more testing.
cheers,
Pádraig
