But Debian only uses groff so it makes sense to have a Debian specific
change to pod2man which does that. Maybe you could provide a mean to have
some automatic post-processing of generated manpages? That way the perl
package could dropt a groff-specific post-processing script doing those
conversions...

In that case, we can fix all manpages by fixing one package, it's
certainly better that having such hacks in many perl packages.
