Yes, I do the same. I store Docbook XML in git, and when a packaged tarball  
gets prepared it includes the generated nroff man pages, for direct  
installation.

I'm not familiar with asciidoc, but that workflow seems analogous. When you  
wrote that you were contemplating large scale man page updates I thought you  
meant manual editing of nroff. Scary, scary thought…

Yowza. Solaris is still around?
