Yes - its ok with me. Or if you want a more granular packaging history, you
can merge the 'debian' and 'upstream' branches from
https://github.com/sbodomerle/pytango.git

For the itango case the generated man pages are in acceptable shape.
Altough im biased now toward python developers now :)
You may look on mentors for the current state - i use symlinks for the qt
version of man pages.

Ok - i'll give a try and compare the results with the sphinx version.

But to proceed forward - i guess that having itango asap in experimental
would be fine (with or without proper man pages). No man pages would be no
regression from the current state - the actual pytango packages lacks them
also afaik.
My aim here is not to miss the deadline to have tango9 in stretch.

The next step would be to add a depends: itango field to python-pytango and
a recommends: itango to python-tango.
