I really like this idea. The problem why I stopped using plain help2man
is that in most cases the result is not a proper manpage. So I frequently
used a createmanpages while beeing perfectly aware that upstream changes
could make these (partially) wrong. I'd love to have a better solution -
but the lintian check would be extremely helpful.
Kind regards
Andreas.
