  Description     : Perl library for parsing nroff-formatted manpages

Parse::Man, an abstract subclass of Parser::MGC, recognises nroff
grammar from a file or string value. It invokes methods when various
nroff directives are encountered. It is intended that this class be used
as a base class, with methods provided to handle the various directives
and formatting options. Typically a subclass will store intermediate
results in a data structure, building it as directed by these method
invocations.

This is a dependency of sdview/libapp-sdview-perl (see #1054001);
Andrius expressed interest in having Parse::Man in Debian and offered to
package it, hence I've marked him as the owner of this bug.

All the best,
Ole
