Randy admits that generating the 2005 manual from the 2012 sources (via
command line flags to arm_form.exe) is not correct; the only way to get
the official 2005 version is from the 2005 sources.

So a fully correct solution would be to keep the old ada reference
manual package that has the 2005 sources (I think that was mine, in
which case it is in mtn), rename it ada-reference-manual-2005, and name
the current one ada-reference-manual-2012. That way both can be
installed at the same time.

I have not done a diff, so I don't know how different the two versions
of the 2005 manual are.
