Thanks for confirming this.

I already did that by hand. I guess I am a bit dumb when it comes to
automating stuff.

The problem is that the macros file gets installed as:
/usr/share/man/tixman.macros.gz

My concern is that this file gets compressed, and I have tried to
manually uncompress it, and leave it compressed. There seems to be no
difference in how the manpages are displayed. Or I can't really spot it.

Any advice?
