+- Optimise extraction by not going through all the packages but just those with manpages
+
+ Use:
+
+list-manpages-packages.sh
+manpage-extractor.pl
+
+ Sample call:
+
+(sh list-manpages-packages.sh >data/filenames_with_manpages.sid.i386 ; cat data/filenames_with_manpages.sid.i386 | perl manpage-extractor.pl -d -l /srv/mirrors/debian )
+
+
+ Steps :
+
+ 1.- Extract from Contents which packages have manpages (using list-manpages-dist.sh)
+ 2.- List the location of the pool (using list-manpages-packages.sh)
+ 3.- Extract the files (using manpage-extractor.pl)
+ 4.- Rebuild the manpage archive
+
+This could be done to make extraction of sid more frequent and less CPU intensive. Implement and
+alternative generate-manpages-archive.sh (Fast-generator?
