IMO it's better to keep the manpage in pod format in the source package
and generate the .1 file during package build, and remove it when
cleaning, than storing troff code in the repository since that is pretty
much gibberish for normal people.  :-)

When I convert existing packages I usually keep the original maintainers
as uploaders together with me, I don't known what others think about
that but I think this is a good thing to do.

lintian reports a spelling error in the manpage text, you could fix
that.
