  It seems that imake changed its behavior to automatically create
manpages, so builds now fail if the package doesn't expect that.
  See, for instance, bug #123741.

  I tried to fix this as part of the bsp, but imake seems to be
completely undocumented.  Maybe someone with more experience in the
black arts can handle it..
