Please don't ship files in the source that can be generated at build time. Requiring a manual step is just adding complexity and asking for mistakes. Is there a reason why you've chosen to use a manpage generation tool if you don't think it's good for the package to build-depend on it? For that matter, why choose docbook-xsl instead of docbook2x-man? And finally, isn't just vi $manpage easier than all this?
